A few more: I've never been able to get a bank check at an ATM, ask it for empty coin roll tubes, or explain to it why an international funds transfer fee should be waived. (I could try explaining, but it wouldn't do much good, and I'd get funny looks from the folks waiting to use it.
)
At the supermarket branch I use most, there are often several people in the ATM line but nobody at the teller windows. I walk right up to a teller, make my deposit in ten seconds, and leave. Go figure.
