Annoying Things About Banking In Ireland - Part 2

Receipts... you know the little pieces of paper that come out of the ATM when you've finished? Well... not many people in Ireland would know them.

ATMs come in three varieties:

A) The most rarest is the sort that asks if you would like a receipt, AND actually gives you one...

B) The second type of ATM politely asks you if you'd like a receipt, only for you to get to the end of the transaction and find that the ATM has just discovered that it isn't able to give you one after all... "Silly Me" it should say on the screen at the end. All this technology, and ATMs are unable to determine at the start of your transaction whether it can issue a receipt or not

C) The final type, and my favourite - are the ATMs with attitude. The ones who ask you if you want a receipt, you complete the transaction, and the ATM is too cool to even tell you that it can't issue you one... You're sitting there waiting to see if the ATM is Type A or B, only to find it asking you to insert your card - YOU'RE NOT GETTING A RECEIPT!

bloody ATMs... At least to be one of the 3 above types, it's actually working - which is a bonus
