#4 Standing in line in an ATM is only for idiots
The concept of waiting your turn in a line here is slowly catching on. Very slowly. Very very slowly. I’m not sure how long the actual concept of a line has been around for, but I am sure it started a super long time ago with the dinosaurs and waiting their turns at the water hole. Yeah, reptiles are more organized than some of these people.
It’s a very basic concept, yet no one gets it. Instead what happens is that everyone crowds around the machine and slowly inches forward in hope to get in front of the next person. But it gets worse. Then there are people that will bring multiple cards from all their friends and family and take 4 or 5 times as much time as they would with only one card. But it gets worse. Then there are the people that stand in the shade away from the masses and then walk up when they think their spot should be in the front because they have been watching the people that would be behind them. And it gets worse. I swear the women that want to get money only dress up because some idiot will allow them to cut in front of them, and it happens all the time (also best perk for being a woman here). And it continues to get worse. A typical ATM machine will break down and go off-line once in about twenty withdrawals or it will run out of money. And the worst, the only way to withdrawal money is from the ATM outside. Can’t do it inside the bank where there is AC for some reason… that would be too logical.
So how do you avoid these problems? Wake up early and be there at 5am. Go at night. Go when the teachers are not getting paid. And pull out a lot of money to avoid going multiple times a month. Oh and don’t wait in a line and if you do, bring a book.
NO LINES!!!! Best day ever!
