They say not, but is it? I don’t want to be nagged to give when I draw out money from an ATM. Frankly, I don’t want to be nagged at all. When I have the available funds, I’ll give to the charity of my choice in my own time, on my own terms – so, no, not when I’m out and about and getting money from the hole in the wall – it’ll be just another irritating intrusion.
So, to me, it is ATM chugging.
Thus is dangerous harassment – how do you know they are not fraudsters trying to stael from your ATM withdrawl?
I immedaiately go to VERY LOUD SHOUT if approcahed by anyone at all when near an ATM.
If that doesn’t work.
CALL THE POICE – immediately – and have them arrested for suspicious/threatening behaviour/likely to cause a breach …
That should fix the bastards.
This is about the ATM itself nagging the client making the withdrawal. It was part of Callmedave’s big society.
I’ll just ignore it, like I do Barclay’s ATM pleading with me to ask for a receipt because they are running a football match ticket giveaway.
I’ve not seen the Barclays thing. I never want a receipt anyway. I’ll be ignoring this, too, just as I will with all of the big society initiatives.

FWIW I always ask for a receipt. All you need is one disagreement with the bank about how much you actually received (or didn’t) from an ATM to teach you that you’re on a hiding to nothing without some paper evidence. Sure, I dispose of the receipt once the (correct) transaction has shown up online but this minimal hassle is worth it.
I haven’t used an ATM in ages, I normally get my cash at the supermarket when I pay for my groceries.
The receipt thing has always puzzled me. I have often seen ATM machines surrounded by receipts littering the ground. The machine asks you if you want one, why would you press ‘Yes’ and then throw the receipt on the floor?
