Quiet day

Work has been minimal - a page here a tweak there so I've had the luxury of being able to work down my lists.   The Vista one is done!  Nice.

I decided to trot up to the good sushi place for lunch and then I figured while I was there, I'd go an extra block to the free ATM.  So... I put on my nice new bouncy shoes and off I went.

The ATM is one of two - side by side - in the Metro office (where you can get all things bus. passes, schedules, etc.).  Both machines belong to credit unions and both are the slide your card through kind instead of the stick your card in kind.   You know for sure it's not going to eat your card.  I slid my card in and told it I wanted cash.  It said fine.  It asked me if I wanted anything else.  I said no, thank you and it flashed the 'welcome, slide your card' screen.  Yo, buddy... where's my cash????

That's a pretty disconcerting thing to happen.  I had asked for a fairly sizeable chunk of cash.  Did I not ask nicely enough?  Did it debit my account and save the cash inside somewhere for a night on the town later?  Arugh.  So I wrote down the name and the phone number on the machine and successfully got my cash out of the machine next to it.  Thank you.

When I got home, I checked my account immediately and it was fine.  Just the one withdrawal.  Whew.  And the sushi was yummy!

Next I think I'll clean up the kitchen and empty the dishwasher and then maybe I'll sit down and read the novel I started last night. 

nice day!

Check your account over the next few days, too. If that ATM that didn't give you the money is on a different system than your bank it may show up, just not instantly. And if it does come out of your account, file a dispute with your bank. You don't need to call the owner of the ATM. Because they will just tell you to call your bank. There's forms to fill out then your bank will hunto down the other bank!

wow! You are amazing. Thank you! I had no idea... What I did do was stand in front of the ATM so the camera could see me writing down the information and looking frustrated.

I would have never thought to call my own credit union. I will absolutely check every day for a while - I do anyway, usually.

THANKS!

Heehee! Theyrarely look at the tapes on the cameras unless there is a theft. I appreciate that you stood there looking annoyed though!
