Phew! I still can feel the pain. It pierces like a needle and hurt like a deep cut. What a shame!
On this day 27-09-2017, I had a handful of sad emotions due to the bad adventure I had journeyed into. O education, stay not far from us.
I had left a school after rendering my services, to make use of an ATM nearby. I had needed cash badly since I was going broke that day.
I hurried up under the scorching heat of the sun to get to the ATM stand on time. I never minded been the last person on the queue. All I care for was get the cash!, I needed money!
Of I went! On getting there, I was not in happy mood because of the long queue I met. And worst still, among the 3 ATMs, only one was working. What the hell!
I had to avoid staying under the heat of the tropical sun for too long, and I cannot manage waiting for my turn. "I need solace! I am going to the ATM nearby." Just few kilometres away. Off I went.
On getting there, I met few people making up 3 queues for 3 ATMs. I joined the first one since the people on the queue are few.
As time went by, frustration sets in. Some old men can't operate the ATM. I still had to wait patiently under the sun. This time time, I was sweating profusely. "Hey old man, just punch that button," a guy yelled.
I am burning out!
I had to bear so much when the queue became as slow as a snail. Meanwhile the other 2 queues had exhausted the people they had when I came, but now I can't displace the new ones.
When it got to my turn, I took a sigh of relief.
I slot in my debit card, followed the process of withdrawal and then had to wait for the ATM's verdict, "Temporarily unable to dispense cash." I am finished!
With annoyance I left the place. I was very angry because of the frequent failure for traditional banks to do the needful in managing ATMs. No cash, no network, no nothing! Duh!
I can't give up, I declared to myself. I must withdrew cash for use today. Wondering where else to go, I remembered a new bank location just some few blocks away. And it has new ATM.
On getting there, I had to wait on the queue. Everywhere is queue! No ATM without a queue.
Besides, the queue is a common factor, but the sluggishness of some people, and the poor network condition of the operators coupled with poor functioning ATM machine, everything becomes boring. And the whole process needs to be scrapped and replaced with crypto currency ATMs.
With crypto currency ATMs, you get your cash in seconds. You do things in faster time and you enjoy all the benefits of feasibility of use.
Had crypto currency had been accepted and used for transactions in the place I live, I won't have any need for cash.
Well, the worldwide adoption is growing and soon enough, crypto currency will replace cash. Welcome to the new world.
At last, I was able to withdraw some money. But the amount I could withdraw was half the amount I had needed. Oh, what a day. I left with an angrily-happy face.
Solace will I find. I will steem on!
