But then.....you sound like....William.....Shatner.....and I'm not...sure....if that is any....better.

Haha, yeah. I had about the same reaction when I read that. I thought for sure it was an early 2000s thing.

That's like asking if every racist joke should be applied to everyone of that race. That's kind of how stereotype-based "humor" works.

Norf F.C or "Goalposting" is the nickname given to a series of drawings and illustrations originating from 4chan's /pol/ board satirizing Northern English

Yes, 4chan's /pol/ board is certainly a mighty fine moral compass you're referencing there. /s

Not saying any of it isn't accurate for a portion of the population. But it doesn't apply to everyone (we're not a monoculture / planet of hats), and to paint 347,628,682 people with a mural of ugly stereotypes is, well, kinda racist / xenophobic.

For regular debit/POS transactions, yeah, I think that's universal. For ATMs, though, I think it depends on the ATM software, right?
Is it only your bank's branded ATMs that do that?

My credit union doesn't operate ATMs and just reimburses the fees, so I use any random ATM when I need to do something other than a deposit. Some let me do multiple transactions, some don't. Some don't even let me transfer funds, but those are usually the dinky little machines you find in "convenience" locations.

I loved the simplicity of it. It did one thing, and did it well enough.

They had an early mobile app (BREW I think), but it was pretty awful.

I think SMS gaining popularity killed it, and they were too early for the "What's App" era that ultimately killed SMS in a lot of places.
