    ATM's that give an Irish language opinion..no one gives a ****.

    ATM's again, press for a 20e, no 20s, so instead of giving you another opinion, it cancels your whole transaction... Have to start all over again..

    Banks with that stupid entrance, double door lock crap.One has to be locked in order for other to open.

    Topaz... Having to walk around to whole counter to pay, why can't I just go in the door nearest the cashier..fcukin stupidity.

    The bank doors is to minimise the risk of robbery. Atms that offer you 20/40/60 with no 20s. Offer me an amount you can dispense first.

    Voyeurism. So much time effort for so little reward.

    If you really wanted to rob a bank, two crappy glass doors wouldn't stop much.

    ATMs giving you the option to request a receipt yet having no receipts to dispense.

    agree with most of what you say there, except, for the last bit, what the hell are you going into topaz for?

    Thing is if the q started inside the door then if it was busy, the q would be out the door, at the least people can get in and see whats going on, or from the shops point of view, browse and spend, on the otherhand, its a much better system than walking up to the till at the far wall, and then making your way through people to get back out, as you can just exit.
    That said, I dont use topaz unless I was stuck, which I make sure Im not.

    When I'm browsing Twitter on my phone and I'm scrolling down through older tweets, click on one to see the rest of the conversation, click back and I'm taken all the way back to the top to the newest tweets so I have to scroll all the way back down again to find my place.

    Gets me every fucking time.

    Actually, Twitter.

    Pre-paid fuel pumps. I have no idea how much I want. Turn on the feckin pump....

    Self-service tills in B&Q..closed. 1 cashier, a queue a mile long...why have the self-service tills and then not open them?

    Tap and go Card machines, but a €15 limit. Would €20 really be such a stretch??

    I thought the pre paid pumps were for those not in view of the security, or if you look dodgy :pac:.

    B&Q near me seem to have loads of self service tills open, much faster to find one and get through quick than get stuck behind a q of people fumbling with their stuff and change, mostyl Ive seen them open near me.

    Now if only lidl or aldi would open the other 7 or 8 tills rather than just the 2-3 (one is always closing).

    ATM's are so annoying, try and get €20 and it says it only dispenses in multiples of €50, cap for ATM is €120, go figure.

    Another is when you've been using your visa debit card and you go to take money out and find out your a few cent short of the nearest 10. :(

    Calling support only to be passed on to multiple ppl.

    Remember the good old days when an atm would dispense €650??? Now, it's €200 tops and often €120...so, life has gotten cheaper?? No? Well what then??

    Automated check-outs, they are not a convenience for the customer, only for the store and I've wasted too much of my life looking for a staff member to clear some imaginary transgression so I can just pay for my milk and go home in a temper.
