One of the chain self checkouts used to just

changed those now and they don't let you
specify what you want, it works that out
for you so you can still get $20s by specifying
you want $40, but you get $50s if you say
you want $50 or $100 etc. That chain has
now closed their store in my town now so
I have to use the other self checkouts.
I'll have to pay more attention the next time. I think you
can
specify
a
number but the selection menu is in $20 increments. The max
on
the
menu
is
$200, or sometimes $100 at the smaller kiosks in markets.
I've got the feeling if you said you wanted $57 the machine
would
make
impolite remarks. Maybe not, since the self service
checkouts
can
make
change with smaller bills. I never thought about it. I just
grab
$200
and
go.
Yeah, I'm about to try them all now because I have always
preferred to have $20 notes for the garage/yard sales. $50s
can be a real hassle, particularly given that we show up
at the garage/yard sales before anyone else and hardly
any ensure that they have lots of change. I prefer to use
the self checkouts rather than ATMs just because you
don't normally have to queue for the self checkouts
and there is no chance of a skimmer on the self checkout.
You must have a lot of criminals over there.
Most of those skimming ATMs are tourists.
The problem doesn't exist here,
Wrong, as always.

you're doing something wrong.
Nope.
Never happened to me or anyone I know,
Never happened to me or anyone I know either.
I guess it's not that common here. Either that or you're overly
paranoid.
Or I have enough of a clue to have noticed the tourists caught
doing
it.
But if it's never happened to you or anyone you know, then it isn't
widespread enough to worry about.
Even sillier than you usually manage.
What's silly about it? You've just admitted it's uncommon, yet your
worry
about it.
I don't worry about it. I use self checkouts because I am much
more likely to be able to walk up to one and use it and don't
have to queue while some clown fumbles around at the ATM.
You said "I prefer to use the self checkouts rather than ATMs just
because
you don't normally have to queue for the self checkouts and ****there is

The last is just a bonus, not something I worry about.
No queues for ATMs here.
Because slum dwellers don't have any money.
