How does an ATM work?
Which ATM? Asynchronous Transfer Mode, Automated Teller Machine? If it's Automated Teller Machine, then you stand beside the machine - it's usually (but not always) located in a wall. Try not to stand behind it because: a) It makes it really hard to stick your card in b) You can't really see the keys to press and c) If the ATM is located in a wall, you'll have to knock an inconvenient hole in the wall to stick your arms through. Once you've positioned yourself on the right side of the ATM, and are within reaching distance (obviously you don't want to have to throw the card at it and hope that it slides into the card reader), insert your card into the card reader slot, follow the instructions onscreen, enter your PIN and perform the operation of your choice. The operation should be related to the ATM, it's unadvisable to perform an appendectomy beside the ATM, for instance. The PIN here refers to a Personal Identity Number that will have been issued to you by your bank. Physically sticking Pins into the ATM will do nothing for it - it does not need acupuncture, it does not respect voodoo. Please choose the correct slot for the card when you enter it. The mouth of the person standing behind you does not count as a card reader. The receipts tray does not constitute the card reader, nor does the rubbish bin near by. Thus ends your ATM lesson for today.

I'll be happy to write one if he'll give me a plausible reason for drive-up ATMs that have Braille keypads.

According to this[^] it is because of ADA. (See the second question)

I'm writing as fast as I can. :-D Actually, I figured that out, but it still seems absurd to me to find them in the US. We have no blind driver-side passengers, though a case might be made for a blind client using the ATM from a cab. My cynical nature inclines me to think that the most likely reason is that it's cheaper to make one kind of keyboard than two.
