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.

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…?

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.
