Quasi spurred on my initial rant, had this very same experience earlier, I asked for €80, it only had €50s so it presents a nice intimidating message along the lines of "The denomination you requested is not available, would you like to make another transaction?". Which inevitable slows things down as people have to read it and then cope with their indecisiveness of pressing either YES or NO and having to choose either €50, €100, etc yet the smaller denominations will still as valid preset withdrawal options! Banks - cater your ATM UI/UX to idiots.

There should be a row of cash icons on the ATM screensaver/homepage. If something is shaded out, it's out of stock.

They charge people over here if you're using someone else's ATM

Downside is you get stung for a dollar or two if you plan poorly.
Upside is the machines make money, so they're often state of the art or at least chock full o' cash.
My experience with ATMs in Ireland is that the banks don't give a fuck about them, because there's no money in them (figuratively speaking)
Swings and roundabouts.

The queue outside the one on Dame Street across from the Olympia. Like fucking purgatory. Every Saturday night.

Who uses cash any more though?
Isn't it all debit cards now pretty much?

I've only used my debit card once, can't beat a wallet crammed (that may be an exaggeration) with notes.

The fucking coins though.
Jesus.
Walking around clanging like Marley's ghost.

Ones and twos are on their way out and at the end of every day I remove everything below e1 and pile it all up till there's a bankable amount.

I'm all card except for small amounts like coffee (although it's becoming easier to make small payments for coffee around town), there's always a fear one might not accept it for small amounts.

What's been bugging me lately with some shops using contactless, they'll tap the amount into the mobile POS machine, tap your card against it and then assume it's okay to look at you like you have 2 heads if you request a receipt. Like they don't even show you how much they've tapped into the machine, they'll just do the whole transaction with no receipt. I'd like to know you're not fudging up how much I have to pay.

Do you want a receipt? Or just confirmation on how much the purchase is?

I'd ask for a receipt as I hand the card.

Fucking receipts though, amirite?

More confirmation, but a receipt is the only way to get that after the transaction is hidden from you.

My local steadfastly refuses to accept cards. I think it’s to keep out the creative types.

Unless it's a contactless transaction people who pay for drinks with cards should be murdered and have their heads put on spikes.

Actually, I half know someone connected with them. Wasn't sure until I saw the vintage mercedes.
So "..know them...sound.." etc.

Whaaaaaa? That's bullshit. I never carry cash with me if I can help it.

You've been away in foreign too long. I'm always disappointed when a pub accepts card.

Big fucking queue in the barber shop below

Ould wan reading Irish Catholic on bus. I can see a headline on an article about Graham Linehan discussing the abortion story he & his wife told last week: "Power of abortion lobby on full display".

You're looking for the Complaints from 1999 thread

Anyway, the Ulster bank on Suffolk Street has them if you manage to get back there.

I'm gonna buy* this on the basis of your 'recommendation'.

*If I see it in a shop I'm in, I'm not gonna actively hunt it down or anything mad.

Trinity College ATMs still do fivers! I think it's nice.
