Wait. Why didn’t she just deal with the non-automatic teller (the guy she was talking to)?

You can use cards from other banks, credit cards, and even some prepaid cards at an ATM. You may be able to do some things with the machine that the teller can't/won't do.

"You may be able to do some things with the machine that the teller cant/wont do."

Do transactions involving an account not held by the bank.

you can try asking them out first

But she says they didn't have an ATM and she went to the drive through, which is the same as going to a teller inside.

I think the banker teller in the story was talking about a drive-through ATM, not a drive-through teller.

So in order to do something that the teller can't/won't do, she would need to stand between cars, which is dangerous.

I’ve experienced once where the teller told me that if I’m withdrawing money under a certain amount, I should do it at the atm outside. Not sure if that rule is true or they just didn’t want to deal with it.

I don't know in America, but I've seen banks charge a fee for withdrawals at the counter.

Because then you have to use a pen like a cave man.

But with a good pen it glides across the page in such a satisfying way, like a hot knife through butter.

It just flows across the page

swoosh

I can tell you’re not left handed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I can tell you haven’t found the right pen.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Also left handed. Have been looking for the right pen for over fifty years. Please share us your wisdom.
