You’d think, but my bank is actively becoming hostile towards people walking in.
My debit card literally never works at the ATM, so I just take the 2 minutes to walk in and fill out a withdrawal form. It’s fine for the occasional need for cash.
Last time, they basically told me, in the future were requiring your debit card for security. There isn’t any reason for you to come in.
I would counter that with: "if you'd give me a debit card that worked, I wouldn't have to"
Yeah they want to fire at least some of the tellers.
I just hand them my debit card inside and tell them what I want. Usually with an apology that I haven't filled out a deposit/withdrawal form. Most of the time the teller will say it's fine and the same amount of work for them either way. I'm sure it depends on the bank or branch, and I personally try to avoid the bigger banks like Bank of America or Chase just because their fees are so much higher and I hear their service is worse, so that's probably a factor as well.
