ATM = Attempt The Mistake

Early on Monday morning, a young couple came into the bank.

Couple: “We’re on vacation, and our card was taken by the ATM yesterday.”

Me: “We are not normally able to return cards to customers; we mail them back to their bank of origin.”

Couple: “But we’re on vacation from the USA. We need our card!”

They showed me their passports.

I got permission from my manager to retrieve the card, and I photocopied the papers and returned the card to them.

Five minutes later, they sheepishly walked back inside. They had tried the card at the ATM again, and the ATM had confiscated it once more.
