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.

As a truck driver during the height of COVID shutdowns I had to walk a fair few drive throughs. Lobby was closed.
This is just like that one time in Curb.
Just skip the line. What are the cars gonna do? Beep at you and risk running out of honk?
Well probably nothing, but there is that rare chance some crazy gets out of their vehicle with a gun or bat.
I love Lemmy sometimes
And what was the guy doing that he couldn't take care of it?
So I asked the cashier where the self-checkout line was . . .
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.
That's why I'd stand to the side.
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.
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.
Late stage capitalism
