I needed some quick cash, so I decided to stop by Region's bank since it was on the way to where I was headed. It wasnt the only bank in that direction, because Conway, Arkansas has at least 50 banks. But, I was in a rush, so I stopped there. I've had bad experiences with this bank before, the way that it's built it's almost impossible to get into, but I was (un)fortunate enough to get in there. My previous bad experience as this particular bank was that they refused to cash one of their own checks because if you dont have an account there, you have to go inside to get your check cashed, and they close 5 minutes early so drive-through is out of the question.
Anyways that's beside the point, fast foward to today, I go over to their drive-through ATM and without thinking I put my non-Regions debit card into the slot that prints the receipts. And it's the worst receipt printer imagineable, it's so deceptive, because there's a big green light on it so if you were in a hurry and werent thinking you'd put your card in the wrong slot. It doesnt even have the decency to be one of those printers that points down, which is how every other ATM in the world does things because then noone's stupid enough to put their card in the printer when they're in a rush. That's not how Regions works though, they havent gotten with the times.
So I put my card in the printer slot, and it falls inside the machine, so I cant get any money. I go through the drive-through window to explain my situation. The guy at the window says "Do you have a Regions card?" to which I reply nay to which he responds "Sorry, I cant help you then".
What the fuck? Would it have mattered if it was a Regions card or not? My cards in your receipt printer, your printer is going to get fucked up and have a huge messy paperjam, and you dont care? Apparently not, but the guy did inform me that an armored car comes by at 2a.m. to service the machine and that anything found inside the machine is destroyed. Which is just great, because that's the debit card to my Michigan bank account, so I wont be able to withdraw any more money from there for a few weeks until I go back up there and get a replacement card. That's fucking great, what a great day I'm having.
So since I'm already pissed off seeing how screwed I am, I step on the gas pedal and break my right-side window against a pole that happened to be there in the skinniest drive-through ever. I call my dad, and he comes to the rescue by letting me bum some cash off of him. And while I'm waiting, the other people going through the drive-through ATM are wondering where their receipts are, undoubtedly beginning a paper jam which I hope breaks their machine and costs them alot of money to fix. Fuck you, Regions bank.
But yeah, no cash, gimped truck, pissed off, that's how my day's been.
