I myself have a Wells Fargo Bank a couple of blocks away from me, and it has a drive-through ATM that I never, well, drive through. I simply walk up to it and get my cash. of course it can get akward when there is a line of cars waiting for me, but either way, that's what I do. (Stop laughing.. I'm too young to drive.) =)<br /><br />And yes, for the record, the braille is likely put on those machines as default and they don't remove it because, well, there's no point.
