Press Two For English?

Chase Bank's ATM machines automatically default to Spanish if you don't select a language. At the risk of sounding like a xenophobe (although I don't think that word fits this scenario), that is insane.

I have nothing against ATM machines or any automated services offering different languages to their customers to conduct business. But English should be the default language if no choice is made.

OK, I'll go back to angst, strap-ons, the Redskins, abuse and my usual assortment of topics.

Sounds like time to change your bank.
Pandering to the Spanish speaking community, while a friendly gesture is rather a kick in the face....

Plus a $4 ATM fee? "F" THAT.
