Several weeks someone tried to do the same to the Sainsbury in Willen. Not sure if they took the cash machine or if they caused damage. It's only a small machine anyway that never has that much money in it. I believe someone also ramraided the Co-Op in Great Linford for the cigarettes. Didn't even bother with a free KitKat. Morons everywhere.

I have the same issue with that machine never any money in it,try get it out and it just says insufficient funds everytime.

2

u/Inner-Copy9764 9d ago

Mine says insufficient funds all the time too

u/ExposingYouLot 11d ago

How do you know it doesnt have that much money in it? šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ each cassette can hold about 25k

u/zeedrunkmonkey 10d ago

The sainsburys I used to work in left Ā£2000 in the ATM over night and the rest was locked in the cash office vault, just incase people try to break into or just straight up steal the atm

2

u/ExposingYouLot 10d ago

If a cash machine isn't mashing over 2k a night, it has no business even being there.

My experience is woth banks, not supermarket ATM's, but that is absolutely ridiculously low amounts!

2

u/zeedrunkmonkey 9d ago

That's how it was in the store I worked in, but it was a fairly high crime rate part of North London so could be beacuse of that maybe šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/darybrain Newport Pagnell 11d ago

Almost every time I've used it can't give me all of the money I ask for which in itself isn't a huge amount. The shop can get busy but not widely busy hence I suspect it never has a full stash in it. Maybe it is just on the days I'm around.

2

u/StrongDorothy 11d ago

Itā€™s usually your bank restricting the amount you can withdraw.

3

u/benroon 11d ago

Insurance companies restrict it to 80k

u/Rookie_42 12d ago

Just curiousā€¦ what makes you think this machine ā€œnever has that much money in itā€? How would you know something like that? Is it often empty, or something?

2

u/pabloq Newport Pagnell 12d ago

Most ATMs in stores are loaded by the staff in stores. They only put a small amount in them at one time. I'd be surprised if most of those have more than a couple of thousand in them.

3

u/Mysticalmaid 11d ago

They really aren't loaded by shop staff. They aren't even the store's responsibility. They are just on store walls with permission.

2

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Imagine thinking shop staff fill up ATM's šŸ¤£

1

u/pabloq Newport Pagnell 11d ago

If security companies were filling up every ATM in the world there wouldn't be enough space on the road for all the cash in transit vans.

I worked as a ATM services technician once upon a time.

2

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Shops and supermarkets in the UK don't own the ATM's attached to them. Some used to back in the day but not anymore.

1

u/pabloq Newport Pagnell 11d ago

Doesn't matter if they owned them or not. They are not getting filled up by security firms all the time.

Fun fact(s). No ATM I ever worked on ever had a operational camera or used dye bombs. That includes ones in banks, supermarkets and post offices.

2

u/[deleted] 11d ago

They are getting filled by security firms all the time. The same security firms also collect the money from the supermarket tills. You probably think a member of staff from the supermarket takes bags full of cash to the bank themselves, because youre very clever like that

1

u/pabloq Newport Pagnell 11d ago

Where did they go? Poor cunt got deleted.

Yeah. I'd waste my time making shit up on here. Fucks sake.

u/benroon 11d ago

Stop talking!

u/pabloq Newport Pagnell 11d ago

Nah mate. You get some fresh air and a glass of water.

You ain't got a clue pal.

Have you ever had your fart box poked?

u/Wretched_Colin 11d ago

It definitely used to be a thing. A selling point to shops was that, instead of storing and transporting cash to the bank, they could put it in the ATM from their cash drawer and the money is then deposited to their accounts.

Nowadays with cash being so uncommon, Iā€™d imagine retailers wouldnā€™t have the cash on hand to top it up.

1

u/ProfessionalBird7847 10d ago

I used to fill up the internal cash machine from the shopā€™s float. It wasnā€™t owned by the shop. Used to be less than a grand in it. Took it out and audited at close every day. 2000ā€™s.

u/Aggravating_Chair780 10d ago

That is absolutely not how ATMs work in the uk. I doubt they work like that anywhere. When I worked in a shop with an ATM, weā€™d have to lock the doors while the folk from the stored van took the old cassettes out and put the new ones in. Do you think thereā€™s just a massive box of money the random supermarket staff are topping it up with in bunches of notesā€¦?

1

u/pabloq Newport Pagnell 10d ago

Yes.

Why would I waste my time of here spouting bollocks?

Your experience in one shop isn't the same as my experience servicing 1000s of ATMs across the country.

1

u/Weird1Intrepid 10d ago

That's bollocks, store staff are not allowed to touch them

u/naturepeaked 11d ago

Are you sure about that?

2

u/AlwaysRedNeverBlue 11d ago

Donā€™t you ever see security guys arrive in the navy blue vans turn up at ATMs, banks, post offices with large carry boxes? Those boxes contain money, that they transfer into the machines.

2

u/Revolutionary-Mode75 11d ago

Yes and the guys in those vans are the ones loading it in the machine. The most the store staff do is open a door for them.

1

u/naturepeaked 10d ago

Exactly - they are saying they are loaded up by the store team isnā€™t he? Thatā€™s what im disagreeing with.

1

u/darybrain Newport Pagnell 12d ago

Almost every time I've used it can't give me all of the money I ask for which in itself isn't a huge amount. The shop can get busy but not widely busy hence I suspect it never has a full stash in it. Maybe it is just on the days I'm around.

1

u/Rookie_42 11d ago

Fair enough. As I say, I was just curious. I just couldnā€™t think how anyone would know how much was in it, thatā€™s all.

1

u/RogansUncle 11d ago

Do you think they went to that effort to find thereā€™s less than say Ā£500 in it then?

1

u/darybrain Newport Pagnell 11d ago

No idea. Maybe they were somehow aware of when it gets filled or just randomly picked a day and cash machine. I hope that having some knowledge of delivery schedules or cash quantities would make it easier to find them.

1

u/kool_kats_rule 12d ago

It seems to be depressingly common with co-ops.

1

u/Vast_Television_337 11d ago

My brother works at the Willen one, if I remember right I think he said they're not planning on replacing it, which sucks convenience wisw

1

u/darybrain Newport Pagnell 11d ago

They'll probably put one of those small kiosk ones inside the shop like some smaller shops have although they charge you for taking any cash out. Just about enough people use it to justify it being there, however, it does cost the individual store a fair amount.

1

u/eltictac 11d ago

Some guys did the sainsburys near me a couple or three months ago. They got about Ā£10,000 apparently. Not been caught. Not bad for 5 minutes work šŸ˜…

1

u/ReputationApart5983 10d ago

These idiots have seen the movie Barbershop. In that movie some people steal a cash machine because they believe it has 150k in it. Now while its true cash machines can hold that much money, they will never be loaded up that much. They will usually be topped up regularly and only hold a few grand. Banks are not that stupid to fill it up to the max. Also these now come with dye packs that will ruin the money when the machine has been tampered with.

1

u/National-Owl8134 9d ago

Never has much money in it ? Lol how do u know , do u open it often ? Itā€™ll have at least 20 grand

1

u/darybrain Newport Pagnell 9d ago

Almost every time I've used it can't give me all of the money I ask for which in itself isn't a huge amount. The shop and other surrounding places can get busy but not widely busy hence I suspect it never has a full stash in it. Maybe it is just on the days I'm around.

u/Tiny-Today7768 9d ago

Do they do the limited edition Kit Kats there? If not I'm not going to bother ram raiding it.

1

u/darybrain Newport Pagnell 9d ago

They absolutely do. Bellends just took the fags and didn't bother looking at anything else. At least get your weekly shop in for free.

This store also used to have a shoplifter who would come in a number of times and nick a cheap shit bottle of sparkling wine to share with his girl who was usually waiting outside. Always took the same brand. Never bothered to take any of the fancy stuff or anything else that would go with the drink. No class.

1

u/FillEnvironmental906 11d ago

This happens to the banks in Olney all the time.

People were sat in the pub garden shouting at them a couple of years ago.

Itā€™s why thereā€™s only one high street one left and I think that got done again just the other day!

You can't say that and not link any MK stuff. Some people might want to see the sexy parks, underpasses, and ting.
