Not the type of surprise you want from an ATM:

I am wondering what the disclosure should look like for that?

Again - gotta wonder what the disclosures would look like (or taste like?)

Hey - about an ATM that dispenses bacon?

Yeah - that's the ticket!

A no doubt large section of the public thinks bankers are snakes anyway, so why disappoint them? crazy

You mean the snake wasn't the prize for the 1,000,000th ATM transaction?

Or was it cause the person was trying to overdraft their account and that's the new penalty.

Way, way south.
I once had an ATM surprise: I was on my way to Happy Hour and when I got some money out, it sent out a $5 bill that didn't have any printing on the front except for the two small green "seals" on it.

Just sold it on eBay over the weekend for $500.

When the Yellowstone Volcano blows on 12/21/12 this year, you'll be wishing you had some.

A bacon ATM? Yes, please.

And a snake coming out of an ATM would drive me bonkers!

anyone else find it unusual that he just happened to be filming his transaction when this occurred. Really, what are the chances that he just lucked out on this one...

Anytime there is a video, you figure there was some planning/staging involved.

A few years ago, maybe, but considering most cell phones have a video camera all he had to do was take out his phone as soon as he saw the snake.

I mean, how do you think we have so much great stuff on You Tube these days?
