Just a psa get Taxi has been running a promotion within jlem for 15 shekel when you put in the destination. Works for a ton of close locations that would be 30-40 or even more at nights. Worth looking into.

Anyone here have Bank Hapoalim, belonging to branch ramat eshkol (695, on paran)?  Did you get a letter in the mail telling you that they are switching  you to Kikar Tsion branch?  Did you try fighting it?

I'm seriously considering switching over to Leumi...

It's incredibly annoying.  I purposely picked the branch thats half a block away from me...
Did you try doing anything about it?  Is there anything to do?

I happen to really like Bank Hapoalim, I'm not excited to switch...   oh well
