A local gas station has a big sign advertising that they have a 24 hour ATM. Since every ATM that I have ever seen is a 24 hour machine, I had to wonder why they felt it necessary to point that out? I mean it is not like some places close the machine down at 5 so that they don’t have to pay it for overtime.

I suppose if you were from some third world nation where there is only power for a few hours a day, it would be reassuring to know that this machine runs 24 hours a day.

Maybe they should also advertise that their bathrooms are available 24 hours a day.
