Depositing cash at the bank is Very Serious Business TM.
This third attempt ended in total defeat. I arrive at the machine, prepare the coins, insert my card and enter my PIN-number. The card is returned to me and the machine demands I enter the full set of account numbers.
Wtf?
One would think that a card and a PIN number would be enough, seeing as that is all one needs to withdraw cash. But withdrawing is simple and sissy -- depositing takes a whole other set of skillz and determination, tests the mettle of the bank client.
So now I have to go home and dig out the account numbers, write them down on a piece of paper and return for another try tomorrow or next week. Since my attempt to get lenses ended in near-defeat also, and I have to return to the optician next week to get more of them anyway.
The saga continues!
