ATM machines in English only

[sparkyaclown]

Should ATM machines in the USA be in English only? I was using a Bank of AMERICA ATM last week. It had a variety of language choices. Once I pressed the English button, it asked me to VERIFY that I wanted English. WTF?

What pisses me off the most is that I have accidentally hit the spanish button a couple of times and you get no confirmation nor an option to go back and reselect.

If people don't speak english they really shouldn't be in this country.

Same goes for those like you who don't work.

Eh, I have to travel out of country a lot, so I really appreciate it when they have engrish on the ATMs. Its not feasible for me to learn their language as I'm not there long enough.
I think its courteous to have the option available. I do think it would be better if it just defaulted to English at first instead of making you select it. But geesh, its just one more button. Doesn't bother me.

Whatever the bank wants to do. It's called free market. If you don't like it, go to one that is english only.

Stop being such a whiny socialist.

Exactly.

I think for the benefit of those travelling to our country from another country, if possible we should include the major languages of the world.
