I used to go to the bank because the add-on fee bugged me, on principle.<br /><br />Not that I'd make a special trip, but I just kept it in mind for when I'd be going past the bank for whatever other reason.<br /><br />No prob on the mod queue. I hate spam comments as much as anybody.<br /><br />I do wish I could elect an easier CAPTCHA, though. I'm fairly sure the difficulty of the current offerings keeps several of my readers from commenting as much as they might otherwise.bjkeefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967912817595826059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805744272460405750.post-67448489220318040762013-03-22T20:39:14.984-07:002013-03-22T20:39:14.984-07:00Inattentive Editor: Sorry your comment was in the ...<b>Inattentive Editor:</b> Sorry your comment was in the queue; now that verification has been reimposed we can probably reset the moderation date. <br /><br />Also, ATMs not limited to bank branches.

Possibly it has to do with the vastly different hours the two businesses were typically open when ATMs came along.bjkeefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967912817595826059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805744272460405750.post-11376850153823779702013-03-18T12:13:17.310-07:002013-03-18T12:13:17.310-07:00Post-Employment Editor:

I have to be in a real hurry, and there has to be incontrovertible evidence that the other lines are filled with some combination of the truly heinous and the truly dumb, before I will go to one of those things.<br /><br />It's not that I mind the techie aspect. Nor do I mind doing for myself. It's just that I think this is a place where it's really not at all good to encourage our corporate overlords, once again, into further cutting basic jobs. Or into further making the existing ones even more miserable.<br /><br />Plus, you know, hot teenagers who could conceivably laugh at one of my jokes.<br /><br />(Assuming I've recently trimmed my eyebrows, of course.)bjkeefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967912817595826059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805744272460405750.post-40077361201030639982013-03-15T11:46:43.949-07:002013-03-15T11:46:43.949-07:00Nutrition Editor:
