Standard Bank ATM - Steve's Spar Blackheath / Risidale

Popped in recently to Steve's Spar Blackheath, and was pleasantly surprised to see the Standard Bank AutoBank relocated to a stand alone satellite connected kiosk at the south eastern side of the parking lot. Whilst the general position of this ATM is excellent, as it has been for many a year, relocating the specific placement to the edge of the parking lot, and equipping it with a brand new machine is a great move by Standard Bank, and bound to create significantly - increased transactional traffic. One sad thing though .... was this the new machine so abruptly snatched away from the new Caltex Fresh Stop in Rabie Road, Fonteinebleau ? (I'd wager something on this being the case !)

Conveniently located to the North of the entrance to Steve's Spar in Blackheath, this has been the site of a Standard Bank ATM for some considerable time. Now upgraded with the latest privacy screening, one feels safe due to it's prominent location, and the presence of both the Spar, the parking lot, and a good number of shoppers. Conveniently uses the Steve's parking lot, which whilst busy, people come and go frequently, so it's usually quick to find a nearby parking place. Had to pop in to draw cash, and all the above were good. Only strange and disconcerting thing were 2 Spar employees 'loitering' very close to the machine, but just walked by and proceeded to undertake my transaction. Aside from that, all happened as it should, and I had my cash and was on my way swiftly. .
