Dear people who run cashpoints at 'corner shops'...
When one of your machines is malfunctioning outside a corner shop, like eating every customers' card for example for no reason, why oh why oh why [that's polite for "why the f*ck"] do the staff at that nearby convenience store not have permission to put a note over the screen warning the public what's going on?
Since yesterday over a dozen people - at least - have had their card eaten by the RBS ATM outside One Stop in Langport.
Yesterday, helpful staff at the shop [you are stars] left a note on the machine to say it was swallowing up cards. But not today, no such note appeared because those good samaritans "did not have permission" to leave such a note.
So this morning several other local users had their cards eaten.
By mid-morning today, members of the public had taken the law into their own hands and written their own notes, as seen above.
This latest one is still there now, this evening.
WHO ARE THESE JOBSWORTHS?
Who are these dipsticks at banks and building societies who don't let nearby shop staff leave warning notes on cashpoint machines when they are going haywire?
Trying to get a card back from a bank on the phone during lockdown is a long long lengthy and frustrating process.
Thank you to One Stop staff yesterday and the public today who stuck warning notes on the one in the Langport precinct.
Saved some of us a big headache.
Don't suppose anyone knows whoever it was a few summers ago who blew a cashpoint up in Langport with camping gas?
Here at Carry On Langport, we can't think of an ATM machine more deserving than the one outside One Stop this week.
Rant over. Evenin' all.
