No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

an automatic ATM machine, no less!
Get outta town! It's automatic too?!
Y'know, if anywhere was going to have an ATM machine, it would probably be Costco
For your pin number.
I need the money to buy chai tea
I’m reasonably certain there is one in the food court area, but I’ve never used it. Costco takes Visa and Mastercard (any Visa or MC, not just Costco Visa cards), so I’ve never had a reason to.
Costco only takes Visa in store. Mastercard is only accepted for online purchases.
They take both in the UK.
You’re right youngin!
Don't know what country you're from but it's the opposite in Canada. Might want to say what country you're in.
USA. Costco has a partnership with visa and only visa credit cards work. You can however use a MasterCard or others if they are debit. I have never tried online but in store this is how it works
You can call your local one and ask.
It probably varies from store to store.
Your bank will also be able to tell you about any in network ones to save on fees.
To be fair (to be fair) I have never seen an ATM in a Costco.
To be fair personally I have never even seen a Costco.
To be faaiiirrrr
Most supermarkets in my area, not just Costco, have one.
All the ones I've been in have.
Yes.
I have five of them near me and yeah.
I also just searched and found out that apparently there's Bitcoin ATMs as well? Can't say I've seen them.
The ones I have been in do. Dunno if it is a standard feature though.
Why does every single post on this community have at least a few downvotes
Yes, they do. Before the pandemic, the food counter was cash only so they needed a cash machine.
This must have been regional. I've always been able to use a card.
The ones in my area all have a Wings Credit Union ATM by the food court.
I don't think they do that, as far as I'm aware.
If you have to ask you probably have to drive by a few. Also I dont think mine does. Probably a dozen within walking distance though. Depends where you’re at.
Every one I've been to in Texas and California has one
The one I visit in northern England has one. However, it didn't accept my card the last time I went. I'm with one of the main banks who're part of the Link network (the major inter-bank cash machine network in the UK), so I'm unsure which cards are accepted and which aren't.
No
