I not ready yet... <br /><br /><br />Oh! Just a few months back, I made my virgin cash deposit into a ATM!<br /><br />The counter queue was a bit long due to Wuhan virus thingy, saw some ATM machines INSIDE the branch, so decide maybe its time I lose my ATM deposit chastity there and then... <br /><br /><br />As I walked out, saw queues at the ATM machines OUTSIDE the branch.<br /><br />I maybe IT dinosaur, but I still have some street smarts on how to find "loop holes"... <br /><br />Although I must say I do find it strange we have ATMs INSIDE the branch... <br /><br />I guess like McDonalds, the constant quest for productivity (save more) meant replacing humans with machines bit by bit...<br /><br /><br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-32516231305686907432021-04-30T08:39:18.438+08:002021-04-30T08:39:18.438+08:00Smol,
