It was for future reference. Just as directory assistance will tell you the # 
was available in the phone book. As for her having to stand there and if it's 
cheaper to tell you....if the next 10 transactions you do are via ATM then yes 
it was worth having her take the time to tell you about it. It reduces the 
requirements for human tellers and keeps costs lower than they would otherwise 
be.
