GirlHacker's Random Log

almost daily since 1999

 

When I attended college in the Boston area I was able to get $10 and $20 bills from all the ATMs (or as we called ’em “Baybanks”). There was even an ATM on campus that gave $5 bills. Upon moving to California I was faced with machines that only gave $20 bills, the denomination some refer to as the “yuppie food coupon.” I also was miffed that despite the California car culture, drive up ATMs were few and far between. So it was with some surprise when we drove up to our bank’s branch in Redmond, WA and discovered that not only was there a drive-up ATM, but we could ask it to give us amounts such as $10 and $50. How nostalgic! And adding to the quaintness, I noticed that the bank’s drive-through teller lanes were equipped with pneumatic tubes.
