But I had no cash, so I stopped by a hotel to draw some cash from ATM. I asked an old lady at front desk if they have an ATM, but she said 'Do you have a marriage towel?

I put my bank card to the ATM to draw some cash, but it dispensed a lot of MTA card instead of cash. What!? I got confused again. I gave up to
