ATM

128 community banks known as Shinkin banks in the central and western parts of the country are reportedly unable to handle over-the-counter transactions and ATM withdrawals and deposits.

The service outage began shortly after 1 p.m. on Friday.

An organization that manages ATMs and other services for Shinkin banks says the cause appears to be a system disruption.

Work to restore service is said to be proceeding, but it remains unclear when operations will resume.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is denying media reports that he's considering stepping down from his post.

Now, here's what that chase footage showed.

A black man driving a light colored Chrysler Sebring through the drive through ATM, which, of course, remember, is the same car that had picked up that hooded man in the Blackburn's neighborhood after Amanda's murder.

So lots of connections being made here.

However, guess what? Wrapped around his face was the pink sweater that he had stolen from Alice in Becker's house.

And inside the trunk were the oranges and the pink sweater that had been stolen from Allison Becker's house.

So now they're making all these little connections.

Yes, and then also the Chase ATM receipt for the failed withdrawal of $500 was inside the car as well.

You can't make this stuff up.

These banks took out full-page ads.

and said, why would you want to use an ATM when you could come stand in line and talk to a real teller? I mean, I can tell you why, because there's no teller that sits there at the casino when I'm down 250 and I know I can break even if I get out another 200.

There's no teller there, which is probably, now that I think about it, really an argument against ATMs, so maybe I should have left that one out.

There are just so many examples of technology in history and there being this huge pushback.

One interesting story I found, and this is from the late 70s, early 1980s.

I feel like the Universal AMC was the only place I got cash for anything.

I stopped going to the ATMs.

I would just go buy a parking ticket.

Thank

We evaluate other companies.

Like when I'm deciding who I want to bank with, one of the factors that I'm going to consider is how many ATMs do they have? How easy is it to get a hold of their customer service people? When I have a problem, are they helpful? I might go on Better Business Bureau and see what their rankings look like.

When people have a problem, are they responsive? Do they get back to people quickly? Health insurance companies, it's very similar.

where we're making a decision about how we want our health insurance to work, but also who we're going to work with for that process.

So how many bank tellers were there in America in 1970? Roughly 300,000.

How many were there in 2010? Four decades into the ATM era? Roughly 600,000.

Doubled.

How is that possible? Now here is what actually happened.

The ATM reduced the number of tellers needed per branch.

In the average urban branch, it went from about 20 tellers to 13.

That made each branch cheaper to operate.

So I think it started that day.

And then for the next three or four weeks, big, huge amounts of ATM withdrawals.

all over the fort lauderdale key west area just let's try this bank let's go to that bank let's go wherever and so obviously they noticed that hey this is odd this isn't like her the kids nobody's still heard from her and so they're like okay we can't verify if it was her or not but actually sadly the family got kind of excited because they're like okay well this is it maybe she really did get off the boat.

Maybe something happened.

Eerily similar.

Ugh.

So they pull the photos from the ATM cameras and they see that it is a woman, actually two different women that are going to these ATM machines and withdrawing cash.

Everybody knew right away it was not Colleen, A, because she was brunette and Colleen was a blonde.

Yes.

You see, that's why I love the meaning behind y'all's podcast as well, though, because it gives you someone to relate to in some small way, like even the ATMs or the downtown.

I'm like, oh, I know.

Or the Disney.

Thanks for being here.

A barber in Louisville, Texas spotted a bag on top of a bank ATM and found it filled with cash.

He contacted police and checked with a nearby restaurant whose name appeared on one of the bags.

The money was not theirs.
