Ah, yes, I can see where the ATM touch screen would force left hand use.
My biggest difficulty is with our oven, dishwasher. and microwave control pads. They're capacitive touch-sensitive, and I have to do exactly as you describe: touch with the pad of the finger, not the tip. It requires a conscious override, because most of the button pushing I do is typing, and you definitely do that with fingertips, not finger pads. I've learned to operate my phone mostly with my right hand for this reason.
