I used the self checkout yesterday

Withdrew $100 and left it there.
I noticed this morning, 24 hours later that my wallet seemed to be $100 short.
Went back this morning, explain my issue and a smile came across the checkout lady.

A few months ago, I withdrew $100 from the automatic teller at the bank, but it gave me $120 instead. The extra $20 was almost torn in half.

I gave the torn $20 to a human teller at the bank and explained what had happened.

She seemed astonished and said she had never seen such a thing before.
(maybe she meant no one had ever turned in the extra money...? 🤔 )

I've never gotten too much. Shorted once or twice at the independent kiosks. Bank changed the withdrawal to what I actually recieved.

In the 90's in The Bronx I saw an atm machine being dragged down the street by a smoke bellowing beater station wagon 😁

@Thrust I bet you can still see that today. They need to fill them with exploding poison oak oil when not properly opened.

@Thrust

The extra $20 I got was probably what someone else was shorted by.

I have never used an independent kiosk. I don't trust them to keep my PIN secure.

@Thinkerbell Me either unless it's branded by my bank. Which they have scattered around the country.

@Thinkerbell I have to say that with computer tracking of your account and even cameras inside ATMs it doesnt seem smart to try to keep any extra you get..😷

@Thinkerbell I think she wondered how did the damaged bank note get there.

@CrazyMusicLover

I think the stray note was somehow damaged by the machine.
Is it so hard for you to give her well deserved credit for being a good person? Sheesh what a downer you are. @whowasthatmaskedman

I was just kidding about no one having turned in the extra money.

There's an old saying, probably coined by an American politician: "Never steal anything small."

@Thinkerbell Absolutely true.😷
I’m sure you like it when you don’t get called out on your snarky baloney. I do often let it slide. It’s become boring. @whowasthatmaskedman

@jackjjackson In the event that you actually offer up a fact based intelligable response I will try to offer something addressing your concerns..😷
My comments regarding you are quite clear and accurate and any response from you would be quite the opposite. @whowasthatmaskedman
