I don’t know if they’re still around, but when I was a kid and ATMs were still kind of new there were drive thrus at banks where you interacted with a teller using a speaker and a pneumatic tube for sending/receiving.
My mom would let me operate the tube from the back seat, I thought it was cool as shit.
as a kid i enjoyed rolling up on my bike and pressing the “Send” button and then getting the bored bank teller response on the loudspeaker: “uh… thank you?”
still sad that pneumatic tubes are not used for transportation.
