Do you believe in ATM etiquette?

i thought this thread was about something different.

If I know I'm going to take a while with my deposits and I see a person or 2 behind me,Ill deposit a portion and then circle back behind the other person. Is this the appropriate action in your opinion. I've had to wait behind people for over 5-10 mins at an ATM and it can be infuriating.

Frankly if feeding cash or checks into an ATM were so frequent a thing for me that I had to ask this question, I'd be more concerned with security than etiquette.

I tend to go out of my way to be polite and it is rarely reciprocated so frick it, I’ll take my time.

I find myself looking around for suspicious people and cars when pulling thru ATM’s. I always feel like a sitting duck.

I try to be polite to people, but this is some next level shite.

Whenever I see the arm of a certain demographic sticking out of the window of the car ahead of me I know its going to be 10 minutes minimum:

Punch in security code

Turns and talks to passenger

Punch in security code again to get correct number

Taps check balance key

Pulls out receipt

Turns and talks to passenger for 2 minutes

Taps check balance key again cause does not believe the first one

Checks receipt

Turns and talks to passenger again

Access times out

Inserts card again and enters security code

Taps checking account key

Enters $10 withdrawal

Takes $10 from dispenser

Reaches for receipt

Drops receipt

Opens door and gets out to pick up receipt

Gets back in car and sits there talking to passenger

Finally starts the car up and slowly drives off

Rarely use ATMs anymore. Mobile check deposit works great. I get cash, but always default to a card, so cash sits until I absolutely need it. Probably hit an ATM twice a year

It's like Mississippi rush hour- several dozen cars all backed up around a four-way stop while the people up front all try to wave each other through.
