You place a man in a corner, a man’s gonna tape fish to stuff.
A few year ago my bank switched their ATMs to a new model able to accept cash without an envelope. The problem I have is it rejects any bill that has even the slightliest little fold or bend in it, meaning any cash that has been in a wallet or ever folded often gets rejected. Instead of depositing cash in the ATM and having to try 3-5 deposits to get all the cash to stay in, I go to the teller if the bank is open.
Every god damn time the teller makes some remark about “you know you could just use the ATM” and i have to resist my blood boiling. I’ve tried to use the ATM, it fucking sucks. Invest in better tech or accept I’ll waste employee time.
Don’t resist. Let them know how you feel. That both stops the smarmy remarks and makes it more likely someone will look into it.
Exactly this.
It’s possible the cash deposit isn’t being used by enough people so they aren’t being informed it isn’t working often enough to actually do anything about it. It could be some simple malfunction, and a maintenance call to the manufacturer could fix the issue in minutes.
Happens a lot in work places, and in tech spaces in general. People don’t want to “raise a fuss” or be labeled “complainers”, so they don’t speak up.
Always speak up. Don’t assume they’re aware of your concerns. Feedback is important, don’t withhold it.
I’ve seen this happen countless times. Some printer or whatever in the office hasn’t been working properly for years, but they just got used to putting up with it and never put a ticket into IT. Then I eventually find and out 20 minutes was all it took to fix it.
Since you didn’t mention it, I’m curious if you’ve tried the smoothing trick. This is where you take the bill from both sides and gently but firmly slide it along a corner edge.
If you have any it doesn’t, then I’m sorry. I wanted to see if I could help. I had to deal with really picky vending machines back in the day which is how I learned that trick.
Reminds me of the guy who got fed up that his city wasn’t fixing pot holes:

Love to see an avatar of a guy in a suit with misspellings and grammatical errors.
The suit is supposed to imply professionalism and dignity. The post implies low abilities. I’m here for it.
(If I have errors in my comment, I’m still drunk from NYE and it’s early where I live. I don’t have an avatar, so fuck off.)

I don’t see any errors in your comment*, unless I’m being extremely pedantic about using parentheses to bracket an entire paragraph, but I’m not the fucking MLA handbook.
But yeah, I find it genuinely hilarious how some people don’t appreciate how much more difficult it is to take them seriously when they write like this. Which isn’t normally an issue, until they want to be taken seriously.
Edit: clarification
…and will, power than youre intire organisation.
I think this is meant to be “and will power through your entire organisation.”?
Nah, it’s “I have more fish, more tape, and more willpower than your entire organization”.
They probably break them on purpose so they can get free fish.
That’s what happens when you outsource your ATM maintenance to dolphins.
