    When I use the local cash machine I am presented with a screen which gives me a number of options 1. Cash only 2. Cash with receipt 3. Cash and on-screen balance 4. etc So why is it when I select CASH ONLY the very next screen asks me if I want to "check my balance for free". Of course I elephanting don't, otherwise I would have selected the elephanting cash and balance option. Don't even get me started on the fact they use the word 'free' as if I should be grateful that they won't charge me to look at my own money. Then once I select the amount of cash I want I am prompted with "Do I want a Reciept? Yes or No" . You elephanting no I don't want a receipt because I didn't elephanting press the Cash with receipt option. In fact I pressed the Cash only option because I specifically didn't want a receipt so why are you winding me up by asking me for something you know I don't want? Imagine having this conversation with a shopkeeper every day shopkeeper "Morning Sir would you like Bread or milk?" me "I'll just have milk please, don't bother with the receipt" Shopkeeper "No problem Would you like Bread as well?" Me "No just the milk please" Shopkeeper " Do you want a receipt?" me *bitch slaps the shopkeeper* Whoever wrote that code needs to go die in a fire.

            I have the same issue at the gas station. You have the option to select credit or debit before inserting the card and then it asks you which card did you enter.

              Perhaps the previous coder did just that. ;)

              "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

                          Do they get paid for every service you use? I can;t think of another reason. The co-op here try to make you feel guilty about having a receipt, not that i ever do. They use something along the lines of: "We like to save trees so please only request a receipt if you really need one".

                            Perhaps the coder is too low in the hierarchy to take such decisions, and is just listening to orders from above.

                              At a Co-Op I selected 'No' to printing a receipt and then the display changed to 'Get £1 off some item (I forget which) - just show your receipt at the checkout', which was annoying as the item was what I was buying and I had refused the receipt.

                                I was at ASDA this morning. The ATM asked for my PIN, then the type of transaction, then the amount I wanted to withdraw, then displayed a message saying it had no money. Rather than returning my card, it then asked if I wanted my card back or not.

                                  Has anyone actually ever needed a receipt ? I'd be interested what the use of it may be.

                                    They are useful for telling you how much money the person in front of you in the queue has in their account.

                                        I was at ASDA this morning. The ATM asked for my PIN, then the type of transaction, then the amount I wanted to withdraw, then displayed a message saying it had no money. Rather than returning my card, it then asked if I wanted my card back or not.

                                        And did you yell at it ? Because when I say I have no money to my banker, he yells at me.

                                          They could have refused to write such aggravating code.

                                          I recently tried that with a project that I'm currently on. I was told that was the requirement and I could step down if I didn't agree with it. Fortunately it will only annoy internal users with three levels of duplicated effort. :thumbsup:
