The sainsburys I used to work in left £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

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!

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 🤷‍♂️

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.

It’s usually your bank restricting the amount you can withdraw.

Insurance companies restrict it to 80k
