Anecdotal: When I lived in Columbus Georgia in 1974, that was the first time I ever used an ATM. Back then, banks gave away incentives to get people to use the new fangled ATMs. My bank for instance, gave a coupon for a free Burger King Whopper with every use of the ATM. I used the ATM every evening for several weeks, withdrawing and then re-depositing the same $20 over and over. As a struggling young Draftsman, I was temped to withdraw and use the $20 elsewhere along the way but HAD to leave it for the freebie eats. I kinda felt guilty about using so many free Whopper coupons and would always buy a small drink when using the coupon. Sometimes I'd splurge and get fries too, but not always.
