Was at Superstore on Grandview Hwy this evening depositing a cheque. I look for those envelopes and there aren't any. Damn......... kiosk chick says, "Oh don't worry, you don't need envelopes anymore." Okay, so I do the usual. When I press deposit, the door for envelope opens and asks for the cheque. Not thinking about it, I put the cheque in. Good thing I remembered exactly what amount was on the cheque. Next thing, it says it can't recognize the amount. LOL. Anyway, the freaking machine had scanned the cheque and asked if I wanted to see it. Yes, I do, sir/madam, I say to myself. I confirm the amount via the keypad and then it wanted to know if I wanted the scanned image printed onto the receipt.......... damn, I LIKE IT!
It's probably not a new thing, but it was a first for me.
Dude before me was using the machine and he was like inserting 700 bucks in 100 dollar bills all at once. Damn.......... then he proceeds to pay a bill. He was a little confused, but it all went through, I guess. I wouldn't be putting no money into some godless machine, LOL.
Progress is a bitch, but it's all so jalopy.

Td bank machines have been doing that for awhile, it's pretty neat, but they don't always take Ur stack of cash, it'll spit some back as if those were counterfeit, and u've got to do the whole deposit process all over

I deposit cheques weekly. I usually go to the Superstore in Coquitlam and I even went to the one in Metrotown not that long ago, and they still required the old school, envelope thing. I don't bank anywhere else. Well, not true........... I am with Vancity CU.
SO, unless those branches............ anyway, why am I trying to justify this shit to you............ I am dated, man. There's no doubt about it. Maybe not as old as the Korean couple, but not young. Did you know though, that I got carded the other day? They didn't believe I was a senior.
Remember the old Kerry Fraser commercial for some hair product years ago? "Two minutes for having good looking hair." Well, I should get 5 minutes for looking too young, Gu

Any of you know who can service and repair a CAME gate motor? When it was installed years ago, the guy said he doesn't fix the motors, so if it breaks I gotta find someone else. I've already tested the motor itself, the transformer, and checked fuses. I've even replaced a very noticeable blown capacitor. I'm out of ideas.
An icon not only for Canadians but for humanity altogether. He was a great example of a singer, songwriter, poet and overall a true human being in every sense of the word.
I suddenly give zero fucks about the election. When a loved one passes on, they become irreplaceable...

Lol I always count
I've only ever encountered one issue with an ABM. It was when the first new $20 bills came out. Took out a $80 and got $100. Needless to say, I kept my mouth shut about that.

Need to brush up on some excel skills, mostly Pivot Tables
I learned it before but I don't use it often so I'm pretty rusty.
Do you guys know of a good website that provides sample exercises, questions and data sets I can play around?
