Blimey 🙄 Hilariously the chief sent me an email to my private email address asking if I’ll be at committee next week. Clearly much safer to use my gmail. One wonders. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amadeus Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 No, rightly pissed off that their machine malfunctioned and I’m now at the airport without the card that I need. Three guys literally standing next to the machine then arrogantly telling me the card will be destroyed and there’s nothing they can do didn’t help. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have mattered if there was 100 people stood next to the machine if they can't retrieve the card they cant retrieve the card. No irony at all in Corporation Man saying there were lots of staff and they were all standing around......... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rather destroy the cards and tell the person in question tough luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't your card also on your phone ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my bank but I was personally known to the cashier I approached. "No can return, even though I know you". It appears to be banking industry policy that retained cards cannot be returned. Security policy? I later found out that, that particular ATM had a habit of retaining cards too.

Sheldon Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 And this is why I maintain online anonymity as far as possible.

You don't need to be woke to see the idiocy of a wannabe politician needlessly abusing local bank workers publically, in some angry bellend old rant because the idiot forgot his pin and can't understand basic security protocol.

You’re done? My tone may have been a bit too harsh, granted. Fact is the atm malfunctioned. I know my pin. I was told nowt they can do as not Barclays customer. Card gets destroyed, tough luck. Implying would have helped me had I been with Barclays. Not ideal when you’re on the way to the airport and needed that card. Obviously everyone now peeing their panties in excitement. Same procedure as every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Corpy wouldn’t do anything about anything even if a council member Tweeted a live video of themselves doing a shit into a top hat halfway up Tynwald Hill during the opening ceremony. They haven’t got the balls to say anything to anyone which is why these sort of posts still happen with such regularity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal when you’re on the way to the airport and needed that card. Obviously everyone now peeing their panties in excitement. Same procedure as every time. This is the policy of every banking institution when I've lost cards in the past . Some of my cards were metal and these are high risk of getting stuck in the machines 😞 No chance of getting your card back from the machine even if its connected to the bank These days I don't even bother using my main card on any cash machine or even on shops .. For shops it's Google wallet connected to a spare account For cash withdrawals I use a spare account which doesn't have much money inside Also helpful even if it gets hacked when I am across as I have only a few hundred quid inside and no overdraft As far as I know none of the banks charge for accounts and to keep them active set up a small standing order between accounts. So worth opening as many bank accounts as you can ..:-) Edited July 16 by mad_manx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went inside and they said take a seat and 10 minutes later they returned it to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really an "employee", it's up to the voters to judge him (assuming that old favourite, "Uncontested" doesn't stand again next time.) He does, however, also work for a company who - believe me - have every policy you could ever think of, and then some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
