ATM blues

It was a very normal Saturday morning for me.........nothing extraordinary....its early of the month and i paid the ATM a visit.

What seems to be a very mundane visit turned out to be an interesting one.

There were 3 ATMs in the bank and i chose to queue behind and elderly aunty........i waited....and waited.......and waited.......and waited. 15 minutes gone and this aunty still at the ATM. Those in the banks started to notice about this aunty as well.

Trying to be a good Malaysian, i approached the aunty and checked whether she needs any assistance. To my surprised this aunty was withdrawing a RM 50.00 note each time. I told her that she could withdraw more than RM 50.00 at any one time.....and below was the conversation:

Mr. BIG: Aunty! Do u know that u can withdraw more than RM 50.00 at any one time leh........many people are waiting for you leh.

Aunty: You never go to school huh.....cant u read that the machine can dispense RM 50.00 only!

Mr. BIG : Huh? Aunty, yes it said that but it doesnt mean that u can't withdraw more than that.....it says that you can only withdraw RM 50 notes !

Aunty: I have been a customer in this bank for 30 years.....u dont bother me
or else i will slap u...*^&^*$@%^$).

Mr. Big: Gulp!!!!!!!!!........aunty.....u win, i wait !


So we waited for another 10 minutes as the aunty needed to withdraw another RM 800......Rm 50 per transaction!!!!

Sigh........what a way to start my weekend!!!!
