Hmm, I lived in the SF Bay Area for 11 years and never ever encountered this charmingly retro tech at any bank I ever used… nor here in Canada at any time! The hospital near me does use pneumatic tubes though, it’s the only place I’ve seen that used. So today’s strip flew right by me! Interesting to learn how widespread their use is.
I don’t think anyone does! But that’s not the same as being emotionally affected by it of course.
