We love posting the signs that banks post up about when they are closed, because inevitably, someone is going to Google the question, “Is HSBC open on Labor Day?”

And naturally, the answer (in the United States) is a big, fat, no.  What these google searchers should be asking the interwebs is this: “Is HSBC mean enough to make their employees work on Labor Day?”  Answer: No.

Or…

“On a scale of 1 to 10, how cold-hearted am I to expect that my bank have their employees work on Labor Day because a new checking account just cannot wait?”  Answer: Ten!
