I live in a small town close to San Francisco. Went grocery shopping at a medium size grocery store (not a big name supermarket). While taking out money from the ATM, the cashier said: "Better get all you want, won't be here tomorrow". He told me that the ATM would be removed tomorrow. He also rattled off a few more names of grocery stores nearby that were removing their ATMS. I won't be surprised if they even remove them from banks to force people to stand in line and opt for digital currency.
No ATMS => Digital Currency => Social Credit Score =>
=> You've bought your ration of meat for the month. You can buy 5 pounds of bugs.
They started this with NOVID back in early 2020. Every supermarket here in the UK got rid of their second or third ATM overnight.
And I mean literally overnight. One day you could go to the ATM or in the shop, the next day you had to stand in line for both, and there was only one ATM and you had to stand 6ft apart in the 'queue' to get in the shop.
Please don't be surprised at the depths of PRE-CALCULATED EVIL these DEMON SHITTED-OUT STOOLS are.
I will trade hard labor for beef before I ever eat zee bugz, or conform to CBDC.
You didn't see the writing on the wall as soon as you could process the transaction at the register and get "cash back"? That was when the ATM's death sentence started. Seen a payphone lately? Pointless when it's in your pocket, but look what you sacrificed for that convenience.
I would add that the ATM market was probably ultra excited when weed went to states rights, every dispensary had to find a way to get an ATM to deal with the "you don't accept credit card?"
Ah ha, now I know where I can still find an ATM! That, and probably casinos. Thanks for the heads-up!
I think they need lead bullets injected in them
They been getting rid of bank branches in Australia and bank ATMs lots of pissed off people for the past 5 years
You've driven to many miles this month citizen, no "high carbon" foods for you. Ramen and salads until you get your carbon numbers down.
Spring is a great time to start a garden
All the fake injections into the economy are going to rear its ugly side efect this year and hurt many businesses. Interest rates going up means less spending and banks raise fees to offset that, people using out of bank ATMs get dinged hard in fees. Also in the 'not a bank bail out bail out' the fund they are pulling from is funded from other solvent banks so their fees will be going up to offset that.
But mainly I think its businesses having to pay the bank for them to be in the store so its a cost cutting measure to remove them. Which dovetails in the main cost saving measure most places are using these days by giving a slight discount for cash purchase or adding an extra surcharge for credit cards purchases as the bank takes a now larger cut of that credit card sale because inflation monkies run the government.
I'll just buy more gold silver and bitcoin then.
Starting to this in Aus, too.
They intend to crush cash.
What kind of bank or brand of the ATM?
Wells Fargo
That is big for Sf then.
