THAT isn't supposed to happen.

jbsegalSo there I am, in the main Schrafft's Factory building, at the BoA atm, trying to get money to buy lunch.
The transaction goes smoothly until the door opens to dispense my cash, at which point the system powers off.
A moment or 2 later, the power comes back and the system starts rebooting. OS/2 Warp. Who knew?
During this amazingly slow reboot, I'm on the phone with BoA, getting hung up on 2x and finally finishing a conversation on the 3rd try, wherein they say "talk to your bank and have them contest the transfer if indeed it went through." (At the end of the reboot, the system spits out the receipt for my transaction, which it certainly THINKS went through.)
I call my bank. They say "we don't have any real-time communication between us and remote banks whose ATMs you might be using. This transaction, if it really DID happen, won't post til Saturday. If it does post, come in and dispute it."
So who KNOWS what my balance currently is...
And on top of all this, I have no cash with which to buy lunch.
