ATMs

When you go to an ATM, do you get a receipt? I don't, and I'm trying to think why anyone would. I've seen people get a printed receipt - or maybe a balance statement - and put it in their wallet. I can almost understand why someone would do that. (But still - why not look it up online? Why not just remember your balance? When do you clean these out of your wallet? Do you ever actually look at them again ever?)

But most people who get receipts look at them quickly, then stuff them in the little receipt disposal thing, the one that's usually overflowing. Does this make sense? The ATM's just told you on its little screen that you've just taken out $200, and that your balance is $672.34 or whatever.
