The woman, whose hand was trapped in the money slot up to her wrist, claims she was reaching it up in there in the first place because the machine didn’t dispense her cash. Which sounds sort of fishy to me! Have you ever tried to stick your arm up into a vending machine to score a free Twix? Yeah. The trapped customer got out with only minor scrapes, and the bank commented with the following: “Our primary concern is to provide a safe, convenient banking experience for our clients.” Well, you sure BLEW IT, bank.

Seriously though, all ATMs outside banks should have a help/service button to summon staff from inside the bank to help remedy ATM malfunctions, it’s no good having to leave the ATM to go inside for obvious reasons.
