ATM's that don't tell you they have no money!!!!!!!!!
Discussion
I joined a queue to get some spendoolies from the Coop cash machine yesterday, waited my turn, as the people in front seemed to be faffing about.
So, I got to the front, card in, number, ****, screen popped up asking me if I wanted balance info, telephone top up or some other rubbish. Nowhere to ask for cash. I tried a few options, still no joy. I logged out, logged back in, f
ked about for another minute or two then gave up in f
kin' disgust. It had no cash, but unlike every other ATM in the f
kin' world this b
d couldn't simply say that at the f
kin' start, like "Sorry, No Cash Available", as they obviously hoped I'd spend some f
kin' money topping up my f
kstick mobile while I was there!!! f
kin' b
ds trying to grab every f
kin' cent they can even though they f
kin' waste dozens of people time!! 
No chance you can walk up, see there's no cash, got to another machine. oh no, these assholes want to do there best to possibly milk you for something you didn't really want. Like, oh, there's no f
kin' cash, I'll fill my phone and check my balance seeing as I'm f
ks
tting here and logged in alf
kinready!!!!!!!
As I left I told the person behind that there's no cash in the machine, but the machine operator was too f
keyed greedy to be polite enough to explain that before you log in.
Nobody in front of ME in the queue bothered telling me, even though three people had tried to use it before me. Selfish Lazy b

Bit like the speaking self check out in B & Q, says everything to you, tells you what do, how to do it, when I tried to pay with my American Express Card, it politely said "Please wait for an assistance".
About 5 minutes later an assistant turned up and told me "Oh we dont take Amex", why couldn't the bloody talking machine tell me.
Last week I called a B.A number, as usual you have 6 choices, and do you what know? its always No6 you want, then another 5 or 6 choices, and guess what, yes its the last choice....................
So you press 6 and it says "We are sorry, we are closed until Monday"....why cant they tell you FIRST, morons.............

Or the Brazilian consulate in London, that gives you five minutes of waffle when you call inquiries, then tells you to press '0' if you want to speak to an operator, but that number simply cuts you off!

I've used this machine several times, never noticed a green window anywhere. What I HAVE noticed on other machines is a 'SORRY, NO CASH AT PRESENT' plastered right across the centre of the screen. Nothing too subtle, just pretty f
kin' simple.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
