I left my Visa card in the ATM and drove off without it
I was flipping at the store when I suddenly remembered where I left it. I went back to the bank and of course the card was not there in the slot. I went into the bank preparing to report it lost/stolen and the looked on the computer and the ATM captured it!! I can pick it up on Monday after 1:00 PM. What a fucking relief!

1. Your lucky. The ATM's at my bank automatically destroy captured cards.
At least it keeps them from being stolen; but I had to wait over a week for my new one to arrive in the mail.

2. Yeah, don't wait around when it's beeping for you to take it out the slot
it'll drag it right back in

3. yep.. that's a safety feature built into the machines
If you don't get the card after so much time it'll suck it back in.

Scary though - I had that happen to me when there was a power outage half way through the transaction. :crazy:

4. Damn!
I was using a coin sorting machine at the grocery and the power went out in the middle of counting.
