Back in the bad old days when I worked retail, cashier at an everything store, I was in charge of self checkout one day. It was early, nothing going on, few customers. Guy with a half full cart came into self checkout and scanned…one item. He paid for it and got cash back. Scanned another item, paid, and, you guessed it, cash back. After a few times, he moved registers. Same thing. Guy visited at least three before finishing. I didn’t say anything about it to him because as far as I know, there hadn’t been a rule against it, but was told not to allow that in the future. Three machines had to close all morning until the cash could be refilled. TLDR: customer found a loophole to get around ATM fees for large withdrawal and drained three machines.
