Always be wary when Koreans use modal verbs such as "MUST" "HAVE TO" CAN'T" etc. Their meaning and your understanding are usually diametrically opposed



I have found this true time and time again, with various managers. Usually "can't" just means ' I don't want to help you, so I'll tell you that you can't do t and maybe you'll go away.'

Banks here suck though..
