I'm thinking about bank tellers and ATM machines. The ATM machines
permitted the number of tellers to drop. Then the ATM fees started. The
number of tellers didn't go [back] up.

Prior to the introduction of ATMs, banks kept "banker's hours". They
were open from 10 AM to 3 PM Monday through Thursday and until 5 PM on
Friday. Lines at lunch hour were much longer then than now.

Shortly after the introduction of ATM's, there was at least one bank
that for a while actually imposed a 50 cent fee on its own customers for
using a teller rather than the ATM if their account was below some limit.

Not only that, but for a while Citibank was charging people to see a
teller if an ATM could have performed the transaction. That caused a
ruckus, and they more than withdrew that position.

I canceled all my Citi credit cards. I don't do business with
CitiBank.
