The Magical Automated teller machine. Replacing a number of jobs that could be done by humans. Eventually, you may be able to buy food at the ATM's, that may already be possible some where in the world. ATM's can already let you purchase stamps, electronically cash check, and eat your money.
*Why is there braille at a drive up ATM? I really would hate to think that the visually challenged would be driving, although they may be better drivers than some people that can see. Do they think that the visually challenged will walk up to the atm? That all they need, humans. Worse yet, the number of things that ATM's can do is ever increasing. Before you know people getting ran over in their driver through.
The number of locations that ATM's are being placed are ever increasing. When you walk into a hospital and there are 6 different banks ATM's in a row, why wouldn't people just pay the 2 dollars for using another banks ATM, instead of the bank trying to cover the price for putting that ATM there. These funds come from overdraft charges and higher interest rates.
*I saw a few Fifth Third bank ATM's inside of a call center for Citigroup, a rising bank in my area.
*Ironically, The ruminates of the KGB and other organized crime syndicated are trying to crack the ATM network, which would let other criminals able to access their funds.
*Although hard to believe, ATM funds are not unlimited, when the screen says $0 dollars available, don't keep trying.
Most ATM's are labeled as lightly armored, medium armored and heavily armored. I can under stand the lightly armored, but what the heck is going to attack the heavily armored, a tank? Many I know that some areas can be dangerous, buy since when do gangsters have RPGs? Some times I think banks just do this to say that they have it.
*A woman at a drive thru ATM was screaming at the machine, after no effect she threw her arms up and drove away. After a say she came back she started to scream at the ATM once again. After no avail she drove off again. She parked and walked up to the teller that their ATM was broken and that she was going to use another bank if they did not fix it. The bank manager walked out to try the ATM and finds that the ATM is fine. Come to find out, the ATM was a touch screen and since the lady didn't see no buttons she though it was voice command.
