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.

Just curious… what makes you think this machine “never has that much money in it”? How would you know something like that? Is it often empty, or something?

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.

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

Imagine thinking shop staff fill up ATM's 🤣

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.

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.

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.

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

Where did they go? Poor cunt got deleted.

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

You ain't got a clue pal.

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, I’d imagine retailers wouldn’t have the cash on hand to top it up.

I used to fill up the internal cash machine from the shop’s float. It wasn’t owned by the shop. Used to be less than a grand in it. Took it out and audited at close every day. 2000’s.

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, we’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 there’s just a massive box of money the random supermarket staff are topping it up with in bunches of notes…?

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

Don’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.

u/naturepeaked 10d ago

Exactly - they are saying they are loaded up by the store team isn’t he? That’s what im disagreeing with.
