Comment on Losing a credit card due to automatic user behavior

Comments

I went to Japan a couple of years ago and one of the ATMs we used had an internal conveyor system of some kind, which resulted in it ejecting the card with the cash and receipt simultaneously from the same slot. I've always wondered why those weren't more standard, it seemed much more efficient.

Most Japanese machines I've encountered would also throw a fit and beep and yell at you if you left something in a slot for more than a second. I don't recall any German ATMs audibly remining my of my inefficiency.
