All in all its just another brick in the wall!!
YOU WANT ONE????
According to this man (Sparrow) you can purchase on of these fan dabby dozzy things for yourself….for the small sum of around £4,ooo ….???????????????? If only I had known!!!!!
Why the focus on ATM machine I hear you all ask……………….not!!!
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this…….and what the outcome was.
Yesterday..pushed for time as it was…I visited a small inocuous looking atm machine at the small local shops close by …………save time thought I…….. no vying for parking space..no crowds…worth the 1.5op charge they slap on for the priveledge of getting your own money?
Stick the card in……..pin number………..check balance……….choose amount I wish to withdraw….Simple isnt it??
This darling time saver then goes through the motions of dispensing my dosh…………..CHUG CHUG……Thats the sound of my money being dispensed………..CHUG CHUG….still dispensing……CHUG CHUG………..gosh thinks I Im going to be one of those lucky people who ends up being dispensed more dosh than they have asked for ….CHUG CHUG…………….Silence…………..no money…Ohhhhhh dear!!!!
Try again only to find this..b***y machine inform me that sorry there are insufficient funds in my account……… YES YOUVE GOT THEM !!!!!!! I seethed.. To add further insult, the metal monster then accusses me of attempting to tamper with it….all because I run my finger on its oh so sensitive lips that should have dispensed my money in the first place……….This is the part where I almost need carting away by the men in white coats..
I get this irresistible urge to get behind the wall, into this machine, as I imagine some little man, sitting on the other side, sitting counting the cash and slipping it through that tiny slot…..only hes sitting there laughing..You cant have it…….not today, all said looking over his wire rim specks and wagging a finger at me at the same time
Stress always lends a bit of drama !!!!
Well go into shop next door, ” No sorry the machine has nothing to do with us Im informed” “Its been fixed today already and yesterday, nothing but trouble”
To cut a long story short I go home, ring a perfectly nice woman who informs me I need to go to the bank and fill a form in, they will SEND it off, and I will be reimbursed…..The word send did something funny to my insides….You mean send as in post or electronic mail I ask….Oh post she reassures me………….ARGHHHHH..Take me away now!!!! Then bless her she asks if there is anything else she can HELP me with today!!!An ironic chuckle sprang from deep within Help says I….Well actually yes>>>>Get the money youve taken off my account creditted again…today….now…by the magic of computer,,,,,,,,,,that would be helpful….PLEAAAAAAAAASE
Bank really cheered me up too, the girl told me it was amazing how many customers had been in filling these forms in as a result of the same machine…………………
Enough said………….Im buying my own………..install it in the downstairs loo perhaps and let the world know Im open for business 24/7…….
Late for work…………..penniless……………..But still smiling…..with a kinda glazed, happy, yet vacant look in my eyes….
