Some people know exactly how much they want to take out and from which account.It doesn't take much effort to think "hey I thought I was gonna take out 40 bucks, but I guess I'll just take 80 instead".
Other people it dawns on them the moment they step up to the screen that they have to type in a number.
Seriously, I ask myself this every time I get in line for an ATM. It has never taken me more than 2-3 minutes but some people are up there for like 10 minutes+. I have no idea what type of business they are conducting with a machine that would take so long.I know you can deposit checks or even cash checks from ATMs at the bank but damn man wouldn't it be better to inside and have a rep help you do that?
Paying bills. I've tried it once before and yup, that's gonna take a while.Why not go inside for a teller to help?

You can pay bills at an ATM?Depends on the bank but yeah you can. I think I can pay for pretty much everything there. Safer than internet-based system if you're worried about malware and bad hacker.
chequeSounds like a not-American thing

Balance checkbook. Pay bills. Do taxes. Wash dishes. Build a birdhouse. Change the car oil. Normal ATM stuff.
Sounds like a not-American thingIt's check, nothing to it:) I use the spesific spelling "cheque" as catch-all for paper transactions out of habit.
I've made business transactions before and I'd never do it using an ATM.You can do a business transaction using an ATM as long as both parties agree to it, for example: personal escrow service for small local marketplace. It's legit and you can record it in the ledger just fine.
For the same reason people use self check. They don't feel like fucking with a person.Sure if you're not holding up a line.

When you deposit cash, the machine always rejects a couple billsYeah but it doesn't add a gazillion minutes to the work.
