When I pay at checkouts, the console tells me to swipe my card, so I do. Then I select debit, then I type in my pin and wait a few minutes... then the cashier asks me "debit or credit?" and I have to swipe my card and type my pin again. You'd think if I wasn't supposed to swipe my card yet it would tell me... maybe say "hold on just a friggin' minute!" instead of "swipe card." And while not ATM-related, more money-machine hate: * Paying at the pump only to be told you have to go into the store to get the receipt (doesn't that defeat the point?) * Finding that it's cheaper to buy chapstick and use the "cashback" feature at a store than to use the ATM (rediculous bank fees). -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
