I've seen one, and only one, that gave out 10s (normally), but its always 20s.Originally posted by: BoomerD
I've never seen an ATM that gave out anything but $20 bills...
There is a possibility that the ATM is not owned/operated by a bank. It's probably owned by either an ATM company that collects fees on each transaction or the truck stop itself.Annette Parker, a supervisor at Eagle's Truck Stop, said she unplugged the machine after overhearing conversations about the excess payments.
Good. Casino owners are scumbags.Originally posted by: mugs
At least they only made off with $7000. There was a story recently where a slot machine in Vegas credited you $10 for every $1 you put in, and two dozen people made off with something like $500k :Q
Are you serious. Ever heard of an after hours deposit box? What about walking into the bank and speaking to someone.Originally posted by: DangerAardvark

Anyway, if you get 15 extra dollars from an ATM how the hell are you supposed to give it back?
"Yes, this specific ATM machine gave me 15 extra dollars in addition to the 5 dollars I requested, would you please give me change for this 20, and my original 5, which BTW I just freaking spent on gas going out my way to return FREAKING 15 DOLLARS."
What are they supposed to go to the police station and hope they have change?
Are they supposed to leave the 20 under a rock next to the machine?
They have them around here that do 5's and 20's. Very handy to get some smaller bills in your wallet.Originally posted by: DainBramaged
There are a couple around here that spit out $10's but I've never seen one that does $5's either.Originally posted by: BoomerD

Tardface, I already addressed that and pointed out how actually returning the money completely negates the point of withdrawing 5 dollars in the first place.Originally posted by: biggestmuff

I don't understand how some of you people get through the day.
I knew it was only a matter of time, just had to see who lost respect first.Originally posted by: senseamp
Was it a Diebold ATM machine?
In the case of the machine giving out extra 20's leaving them on the machine would complete their legal obligation to the bank to not take the money. If someone else takes the money it is not your problem.Originally posted by: DangerAardvark

also, these people are toast. they'll easily know who they are.
It is their responsibility. As a customer, it's also your's to report problems with the equipment.Originally posted by: blurredvision
As far as the bolded statement goes, how? I can't even understand why they are required to pay it back, unless a person knowingly went back time after time, knowing about this glitch.
Oh well, I'm sure people will disagree with me, but IMO, it should be the responsibility of the bank to properly maintain the ATM, and it should be their responsibility to make sure it could not be tampered with, and before I run out of breath, it should be their responsibility to monitor the ATM.
EDIT: Corrected the bolding of my entire post.
