https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Shepherd-Barron
Shepherd-Barron joined De La Rue in the 1950s as a management trainee and grew to become Managing Director of De La Rue Instruments (with a mandate to run down the company). Under his leadership the first De La Rue Automated Cash System (DACS) machine became operational outside the Enfield, north London, branch of Barclays Bank in June 1967.[3] He received the Order of the British Empire in the 2005 New Year's Honours list for services to banking as "inventor of the automatic cash dispenser".[4] Shepherd-Barron told the BBC that he was inspired by chocolate vending machines

Why the anger?
I rarely use them here but can't imagine why someone would go Basil Fawlty on one.
Are they difficult to use? Are they prone to retaining cards?
Do some just not work with international cards?

When I first got here I'd ask people where the nearest "Cash point/machine" was. "Eh?" Was often the response. "CASH MACHINE!" "Eh?"
"FFS, ok where's the nearest pub!"
I got an email from my bank asking why I'd not used my debit/credit card for 18 months! "No money in there!"
pew, pew, pew, pew!

They are often the point where those who are clueless and destitute in a foreign country finally realise they are clueless and destitute in a foreign country. They are the wind that blows apart the fog of self-delusion. It isn't a happy time and many choose to take their frustration out on the messenger.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:Why the anger?

ATM stands for automated teller machines, because you can make deposits, payments etc.

It looks like the Norwegian's name is Gisle Reikvam, or something like that.

He lives at Last Home Guesthouse on Street 172. The tripadvisor reviews are not good. https://www.tripadvisor.com.ph/Hotel_Re ... _Penh.html
Also, he may have failed a drug test.
