I actually heard the full clip on the radio today and he said something to the effect of banks became more efficient and replaced tellers with ATMs.
Well, that's what businesses do. That is, constantly search for ways to innovate and do more with less so they can keep more of their profits and charge less for their goods and services so they can be more competitive.
Of course someone who works for the government wouldn't understand anything about efficiency.
I don't use ATM's unless I'm overseas because I would rather talk face to face with a person rather than try to navigate a machine. However, this is just ridiculous...why not go after the robots in car factories first because I'm sure that they're taking away 5 jobs for every machine they use.
I on the other hand started using ATMs about two years ago when BofA got rid of the envelope deposits. It's so much easier with the new scanning system they have in place. Though it is a bit slow. And I can't wait when they get the mobile app like Chase implemented recently.
