Wish we could see the ATM screen a little better the bank whose ATM it is would be really embarassed...

The rag picker incidentally is at the right place to take all the ATM stubs...

I dunno if the bank needs to be embarassed?

It sure needs to be, if it was my bank I would have raised hell at any and everyone being allowed inside the ATM area. (remember ATMs are prone to frauds). What's a non card holder doing in there and why was the security guard lax to allow this guy inside...

Serious stuff its got no place in the humor section...sorry about this

Funny thing is most ATMs in the US are unguarded, and pretty much on the sidewalk. Anyone could walk up to them and fiddle with them. Also makes it easy to wait until someone withdraws cash and then mug them. Sure there are usually security cameras in the area, but a ski mask takes care of that.

How do you know that he does not have a card? His hand seems to be pushing the card in..In any case, ATM's are useless if they are inside somewhere and guarded.

if anything i thought the first picture in the thread was rather cool. sort of like an ad for the bank "anyone and everyone banks here". what is wrong with that? why assume that he is a thief or a mugger?
i didnt find it funny, i loved it.

Sudzz,
Like sgusa says I'm used to "most" ATMs being unguarded and outside. Not inside a building with a security guy.
That may be the reason I did not understand ur post initially. But I see what ur saying now.

The very idea of an ATM was to make it easy for people to withdraw cash after banking hours. So, naturally, ATM machines need to be placed in an area that is easily accisible to all users.

Sure, people withdrawing cash can be robbed. But they can be robbed anywhere. Imagine youself going to withdraw cash at 9:00PM. ATM is in the bank building. Not all the way in but inside a door, close to the main entrance. You go in withdraw the cash, as soon as you step out someone jumps you and runs away with cash.

Who is there to protect you at 9:00PM? So, it doesn't matter, where ATMs are. It is implicit that users of ATM machine know the risks involved when they use these machines.

They are suppose to make cash available 24 hours a day. That's their basic use. If you put them inside a building that shuts down at 11:00 PM, what's the use?

Yeah. This is why I always carry my shotgun with me when I go to an ATM! :D

Well, the crooks find always new ways. In Turkey, for example, as soon as you retrieve money from an ATM, a guy walks to you with a note in hand and asks if you could change it. While you are looking at your handful of cash to see if there are smaller notes, he would snatch the whole pack and run. Fortunately we were warned by the tour guide on this exact process. So, in central Antalya, during mid-day, after taking the money from the ATM when the guy approached me for the change, we quickly turned away and mixed with our tour crowd.

Well, in india, most ATMs do have a guard sitting outside. But they do not check whether I have a card when I go inside.

If I remember right, the Citibank on MG Road, Bangalore restricted access. Although all the ICICI banks had guards, none of them ahd this system.

When intelligence matures and lodges securely in the mind it becomes wisdom. When wisdom is integrated with life and becomes action it becomes Bhakti. Knowledge when it becomes fully mature is Bhakti. To believe that Jnana and Bhakti, knowledge & devotion, are different from each other is ignorance.

I remember the Citi ATM on MG Road, that was their flagship ATM for their Suvidha salary account product thats why they did not want riff raff hanging around there etc and any case the building the ATM is in used to be the HQ for brands Nokia, HP etc and therefore Iam sure these companies had their own security requirements as well.
