I went to withdraw N1000 from one of my account that has
only N1800. As a matter of fact the only money I have now. The unexpected
happened. I went to a Zenith Bank atm machine, I have a Gtbank atm card. The
took way too long to process. I kept staring at the message ''Transaction in
Progress'' and the blinking ''please wait'' message till my eyes soured. I was
a bit impatient I guess. I haven’t experienced such before. I breezed in the
bank to company. The guy I met was like scolding me for coming to complain
instead of waiting for the transaction to complete. I saw it as malfunction or
something, I never experienced such long delay before. The guy said network
could be bad that’s why its taking eternity to process.
As I was heading back
sms alert of the transaction hit my phone. My heart sank. I reached the atm and
someone was already using it. I told him I left a transaction there, he said he
didn’t see anything. Now don’t panic. Worst case scenario my atm card is gone
too. The cash is a forgone conclusion. The guy I met was checking his balance
and I saw it was N123. I thought to myself someone who has only N123 in his
account won't mind picking N1000 that dropped in his lap. Then I could be
wrong. Could it be the atm retracted the cash? I highly doubt it. Anybody
walking past the atm machine can easily pick the cash. I went back in the bank
to get my card assuming the atm machine retracted it. It took a while before
the bank resolved the issue.
At this point I don’t have a dime on me no pun
intended. My boss asked me to meet him at Radisson Blu Hotel, I took a cab to
the hotel. The cabman waited outside while I went in collected the cab fare
from my boss. I went to the bank to cash a cheque then to Shoprite and finally
back to the office. Considerable time was spent to accomplish all this. Late in
the evening when I wanted to go home, my boss called again asking me to bring
some items to him somewhere in Victoria Island.
I was not happy about it cuz
what he asked me to do can EASILY be done by the driver. If the driver thought
the same, it was just a waste of my time, I was even about leaving for the day.
I went after all. He gave me a grand for transport, I guess that covers the one
grand I lost. I went home after a few delays at the bus stop.
