    Wait. Why didn’t she just deal with the non-automatic teller (the guy she was talking to)?

      You can use cards from other banks, credit cards, and even some prepaid cards at an ATM. You may be able to do some things with the machine that the teller can’t/won’t do.

        But she says they didn’t have an ATM and she went to the drive through, which is the same as going to a teller inside.

          I think the banker teller in the story was talking about a drive-through ATM, not a drive-through teller.

          So in order to do something that the teller can’t/won’t do, she would need to stand between cars, which is dangerous.

      I’ve experienced once where the teller told me that if I’m withdrawing money under a certain amount, I should do it at the atm outside. Not sure if that rule is true or they just didn’t want to deal with it.

      I don’t know in America, but I’ve seen banks charge a fee for withdrawals at the counter.
