Quick seat Chair and the Leverage TV Series The Bank Job
By Khadi Madama Quick-Seat Chair Wellness Coordinator
Even with today’s on-line banking, and the convenience of drive-through banking, there is always that odd occasion that we will need to go inside our bank for one service or another. And, let’s face it, normally that is a pleasant enough event, unless there is a long line!
When the television series crew of the Leverage Team goes into a bank, it’s usually to right a serious
wrong regarding stolen money or to stop a heist deep inside its vaults. With the deft of their star
“crackler” Parker, who loves crawling through vents, jumping off high-buildings connected to her
jumping gear or being suspended from the ceiling in a vault in order to access an art object, there is also
their “hacker,” who is able to access codes to the vaults, security doors and computers. They get to save
the day, the money, the bank’s reputation, and net a nice reward for themselves. They also have the
“brain” of the outfit who organizes everything and the “grifter” who uses her theatrical talents to ease the
pathway on location, and last but not least, their “hitter,” in case anyone tries to harm someone. There is
only one thing that the Leverage Team doesn’t ever encounter deep in the heart of the bank is a need to sit.
Meanwhile, with all of their prowess, skill-sets, physical abilities, and Cyber security deft while they’re
saving the day, there can still be people waiting in a long line in the bank, that could potentially result in a
fall risk. People who simply need to sit down before their stamina wears out. These people, in the
television series have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes. What they do know is that they need to
sit. That’s where the Quick-Seat Chair saves the day. And, they don’t even need a team or special vault
cracking tools. Just everyday standard tools. Quick-Seat Chairs don’t need a strong arm to install, nor do
they need a ceiling or wall opened up. They don’t need theatrical skills or the ‘brains of the outfit’, or a
specialized installation crew, OR the need to jump from a 20 floor building.
I was thinking of this the other day when I had occasion to visit the lobby of my own bank. There was a
long line and my old lower back strain was acting up. Yes, there were lollipops in a variety of flavors, and
pens, lots of pens that bank customers can take along with some interesting brochures, but there were
absolutely no seats inside the bank. Did I mention that I had a dear friend waiting for me in the car
outside? I wondered what the Leverage Team would do in a situation like this but then realized that there
truly was only one solution, the installation of a few strategically placed Quick-Seat Chairs. After all,
when your back is screaming, no amount of lollipops, pens or brochures are going to replace a seat. So
my lofty thoughts were suddenly brought back to our own dear, reliable, safe and secure Quick-Seat
Chairs. The ones that come in vibrant colors standard or custom and with custom logos to brand your
business if desired.
I finally got to the bank teller and completed my transaction, heading out to my car. It was when I was
finally seated in it that I remembered I needed to perform one more transaction. This time, I was using the
drive-through! Explaining my uncomfortable experience with the lack of seating and apologizing to my
friend for the long wait, I finished my drive-through transaction which again took a long time and a
second action to complete. By this time, I had one of those bank pens in my hand with a lollipop, and
when they sent back my receipt, there was yet another pen in the bank tube. I asked my friend if she ever
had a secret fun desire to rob a bank and she looked at me quizzically replying only when she’s watching a television show, like Leverage. That was it. I thanked the teller, bid her a lovely day, and handed my
friend the other pen, saying, “There, now we’ve officially robbed a bank.” Of course, the bank doesn’t
care about the pens, that’s why they have them, but I must confess to a tiny bit of fun as I pulled away and out of the parking lot.
Next time I’m in the bank, I’m going to have some fun with the teller and explain how my friend and I
absconded with 2 pens and then I’m going to leave her a brochure about Quick-Seat Chairs, tell her to visit our blog page and ask to see the manager. He needs to know about Quick-Seat Chairs. They really “hold you up!”
