    Oh shit you’re right. I think I vaguely remember banks having those when I was really young. I mostly remember the suckers they’d give us tho. Fuck those things are cool tho. We should bring them back

      They’re still a thing. You can still find them at banks with drive thru tellers. My local department of motor vehicles has a drive thru for vehicle registration so you can do your inspection and registration without leaving your car. You send the registration documents back/forth via pneumatic tubes.

      They left? All the banks still use them in the middle of the US. So do drive through pharmacies that have an extra lane.

        The drive thru pharmacy I go to just has like a shelf thingy they can lift and push down. Not one of those cool tubes :(
