hi, I'm very angry today, because I went into
[it is correct to use both to and into here because it is possible to deposit a cheque OUTSIDE the back using a cash point machine - in this case I would use "I went TO the bank" - but as you have indicated you went inside the bank to make this transaction, I would say "I went INTO the bank]
the bank to deposit a check [cheque is the British English spelling - I believe check is the way the Americans spell it] and I had to wait a long time....40 minutes!! That's incredible!
In British English - it is ok to use incredible to mean something that is both positive and negative as it purely conveys a state of disbelief. However, to avoid doubt or confusion you might want to be clear that it is negative by saying "That's outrageous!"
There was only one box
[when you say 'box' what do you mean? A desk where a member of staff takes your money? A cash deposit machine where you can insert your cheque and it gives you a receipt or do you literally mean a box in the wall where you post something]
to deposit a check [cheque], there were 3 people in the queue before in front of me e and there were 5 empty boxes for private customers with the employees to turn just twiddling their thumbs. I'm very very angry!!!
