Just skip the line. What are the cars gonna do? Beep at you and risk running out of honk?

I love Lemmy sometimes

Well probably nothing, but there is that rare chance some crazy gets out of their vehicle with a gun or bat.

Late stage capitalism

And what was the guy doing that he couldn't take care of it?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago

So I asked the cashier where the self-checkout line was . . .

who did she ask, a bank teller? did she wait in line to ask a bank teller if they had an atm, then went to stand outside in a line of cars at the drive through? i have questions

[–] Ele7en7 12 points 2 months ago

Probably didn't have an account at that particular bank.

As a truck driver during the height of COVID shutdowns I had to walk a fair few drive throughs. Lobby was closed.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

The bank closest to my house took out the ATM in the lobby. There's two ATM's in the drive thru lanes, but they frown on anyone using them that's not in a 4-wheeled vehicle. Your other option is one of the tellers like it's 1950.

This is just like that one time in Curb.

Pretty easy to skip spots in line on foot, I'd just go right to the front.

I'd rather not piss off strangers and then stand directly in front of their cars. Some of them are not very stable.

Yea, several thousand tons death machines operated by angry hairless monkeys isn't my favorite either.
I guess you're probably fine if you have a clipboard and look like you're inspecting it while doing your transaction.

This also works on constructions sites where no one wants to be involved with a clipboard.

My real question though is why the employee inside couldn't take care of whatever they needed done at an ATM.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

There's a (global) trend to have actual bank branches cashless. It's purely a cost saving "innovation".

Having only a drive-through ATM is a little weird though.

[–] PapaStevesy 1 points 2 months ago

That's why I'd stand to the side.
