Apparently not.

Not everyone has a smart phone.

Could have just called the number on the back of the card.

Some people don't trust online banking apps.

It would have made more sense to call or to check online than to walk 30 minutes just to check a balance. Also OP, I highly recommend having more than one payment method. I usually carry 1 debit and 2 credit cards with me. So if one fails, I can use the other.

OP is probably older. My parents refuse to use an app to check their stuff. They're even afraid to buy stuff online because of fraud. OP most likely likes doing stuff the old fashioned way or does not have a smartphone. Who knows maybe OP ran out of data to check on their phone.

i would say the same, but people can be like my father. they like things old fashioned

Or maybe she cant afford a phone if she can't buy a subway how the hell is she going to buy a phone!!!

I hate when my cash goes done the drain also

That done right sucks.

My bank does the ATM card for free. So in this case, if it is the difference between paying and free, OP needs free if they can get it. Lol

He did nothing wrong. In the same situation I probably would've done the same thing

You would laugh if someone would drop their card in a sewer? That's mean..

This could have been in the afternoon, Most banks aren't open very late.

Or really worried about their money missing.
