I had a haircut after work today, and when I left, I realized I was down the street from a bank branch, and needed the ATM. So I pulled in, parked, and walked over to the door. An older man was walking to his car as I went in, where I found the machine asking, Do you want another transaction? Wait, I didn't put my card in yet ... oh, wait, I bet that's his card in there! (I think in Europe, you swipe the card and it doesn't stay in the whole time. Why aren't ours like that?)
I hit No and sure enough, his card popped out. I took it and went back outside, waving him down, and gave it back to him. Good deed accomplished!
I like the ATMs here that won't give you your money until you take your card out.

All the ATMs around here (Easthampton/Northampton) won't even let you put your PIN in until you've removed your card. I second Mary Ellen's statement that he was really lucky you were next in line.
