I've been with Bank of America for at least a decade, quite possibly a dozen years now. Well, I've been with the same bank that whole time, just now it's name is Bank of America, previously know as NationsBank. And while sometimes I think I'm getting the shorter end of the stick, overall I've been very happy with my choice.

But lately I've been having second thoughts...

Recently, Bank of America updated that ATM in the area where I live. They can now scan deposits, whether they be checks or cash.

Here are some more details: Bank of America to Improve ATM Deposits.

To be honest, at first I was really excited as I always found it to be a chore to have to fill out a deposit slip and everything else. This new method would be more efficient, cheaper, quicker, and less error prone. Sign me up!

There's only one problem. It doesn't work. It never works for any of the checks I have. And on all the ATM's I've tried if the machine can't OCR the check's information then it doesn't give me the opportunity to tell the ATM the amounts. I basically get to try a few times, and then the machine rejects the transaction.

Please, Bank of America, pretty please, let's be friends, and let me give you my money. Oh well, hopefully soon they work out the kinks and this will be the awesome system it is capable of being.
