Code Red at the bank today

[Dirtebiker]

Did not have a button to push for cancel, so it was my only option.

Also, it was more code orange than code red, However I happen to be drinking a red cherry soda so the word red was in my mind as i was typing

I must use logic because I look frightenly like your avatar and it is freaking me out!

It MAY NOT be illegal, but I tell people all the time, this is a drive thru, NOT a walk up .....

1. I'm pretty sure you can cancel a transaction at anytime before the cash is dispensed!

2. I've met both Chris and Snorko, .......Snorko, your not close to being as ugly as inccwchris!

3. There is usually only one ATM at a branch, so there is nothing wrong with walking up to it! (IMO)



4. Now, driving up to a "walk up" ATM......... NOT GOOD!!!!!






5. NO ATM, I'm not talking about YOU!

I have been on both sides of the issue. In fact just last week I have avoided using an ATM because a shady character seemed to be loitering around. I have also been in a situation where my car broke down and I needed cash fast and the closest thing was a bank ATM, so I walked up through a drive thru.

I understand how OP felt, maybe not 100% since I wasn't there, but close enough. And my feeling is, if no laws were broken I personally would not have called the police.

If it was a drive thru, why did you get out to use the ATM?

I drive a pickup and I usually get out to use the ATM because most ATMs are designed for people seated at "car height". The truck sits up a little too high for the ATM and I have to sort of lean out of the window and stretch my arms down. It's just easier to get out.

If people were hanging around the ATM when I arrived as the OP described, I don't think I would even attempt to start the transaction. Either go inside the bank or leave and return later.

I think you did the right thing, however if I noticed them still hanging around after the car in front of you pulled away I would have just went to a different atm or go inside the branch to do my transaction.

I used to drive a big van with ladder racks and the local branch ATM was to low to drive thru so I pulled over to the side and walked up. What are they going to do give me a ticket. The place does not allow guns, hats, hoodies, and sunglasses since the got robbed. The cashier I have known since I was in school so they would let me carry inside (well no say anything) but I tend to respect the private property owners right to make the rules so I use the drive thru or ATM.

What at you in for son "walking up to the drive thru ATM "
