There are actually signs and campaigns all over the place on ATMs, and if you haven't noticed them, what are the chances that the aged would? A personal/human touch is a great idea but as always, the issue lies in execution of the plan.

And who pays for their food/shelter/medical fees while you lock them forever in a cold dark place? Shall we organize a round-up from the victims' families? Excuse me, we need to buy more rice and curries for these chappies.
