A comment on On Cash. Parent comment
* You purchase some goods.
* Store triggers an 'ATM' withdrawal of a multiple of $20 that is greater than the cost of your purchase.
* You actually buy your goods with cash behind the scenes.
* The teller hands you your change from the cash transaction.
Same as having an ATM next to the checkout counter but the customer doesn't have to do the awkward step.
