Yes. Actual banks-in-a-building are increasingly rare, but invaluable 
when all the automated shit simply doesn't work

I think I just turned up the last two times. There wasn't much of a queue.

Recently a redditor was complaining about the number of different banks in 
town, with new ones being constructed. There are almost as many as 
marijuana dispensaries. 

The last time I was in a bank was about 3 years ago when I went in to 
rearrange a CD. For some reason 7 month CDs have a higher interest than 
longer term. I can understand why they're preferred with a volatile 
economy but 7 months? When I asked I didn't get a coherent answer but 
didn't pursue it.

   So far still PLENTY in my area. But the staffing
   has become thinner.

   Online/automated ... it's always "press ONE for ... press
   TWO for ..." and whatever YOU really need won't be on the
   list. Gotta show up in person, a human can figure out what
   you need in a few seconds.

After having closed many branches, Barclays are now opening new 
branches, they are not traditional branches with tellers though, just 
"meeting centres" where you can discuss stuff with them ...

Yes. I think that was what mine was. A floor above a shop.
