thought 5

at my bank's atm, i get a receipt whenever i complete my transaction. i have no need for it, though, so i toss it in the garbage can they have conveniently provided on the floor by the atm. inside the garbage, there are lots of crumpled and ripped-up receipts. i definitely understand the thought process.. but totally unnecessary, if you think about it.. first, if there was valuable financial information printed on these receipts, crumpling up the paper wouldn't do anything to prevent someone from getting that information. second, what bank would actually print valuable financial information on a receipt?

I don't think I've ever gotten a receipt from the bank because I don't really touch my account because I gots someone to do it for me! I don't know what's on a receipt either but the bank should provide an incinerator; HOW COOL (and dangerous) WOULD THAT BE?!
