The Word Awesome Has Become an Epidemic

I was going for a Kramer/Milton banking thing, but let’s go with this bootleg Prozac story.  

Csb/one of the tellers at our bank that is resisting digitization; telling me it’s a recent fad that’ll go away In favor of a return to “the human touch.”   I pointed to the cash station outside and asked “what’s that?”   She said, “it’s an ATM.”   What do the A And T stand for, I inquired.   She replies, “automated Teller”.  I tell her the story that 50 years ago, the ATM was deployed to the marketplace.  For 50 years, we’ve been announcing that Tellers would become Automated.  It’s right there in the name, what’s coming next in mobile banking and FinTech is just the next logical step at automating banking tellers.  You can’t stop what’s coming, you’ve had a half century head start.  

But in honor of this thread, I’m renaming our bank’s cash stations, “Awesome Teller Machine”
