When cash deposit machines are down…
What do you feel? You ask me, of course I said frustrated and dissapointed. Didn’t expect cash deposit machines (CDM) of different banks will fail at the same time. The error message was either “out of service” or “this machine is not accepting cash deposit”. Oh Sunday! emm… normal maintanence not inside pre-planned schedule or too many cash banked in by customer on Sat. I think that the answet I will get from customer service officer (CSO).
I remember when I was young, out of 10 coin payphones (those orange in color one), 8 is out of order. Failing modes are missing handset, coin insertion hole stucked with foreign objects, only emergency call is available, deformed display screen, coin sensor not sensative (keep rejecting my 10 sen coin, I need to use 20 sen to make a call) and some are beyond your imagination.
I thought with the launching of telephone card phone, the above problem will be solved. Too optimistic, NO NO NO, again the problem remains. My magnetic phone card, always failed to slot in the phone.
10 years later, most banks bring in CDM for convenience of customer. Some bank even charged RM8 one year for ATM card. However, payphone episode repeats itself again. We shifted to handphone in replacement of payphone.
What we can shift when all CDMs are down? No choice, I can only choose to keep my notes inside wallet, or perhaps under pillow. I have to say no to RM8.
