An ATM cash machine in Dundee started spitting out extra bank notes to customers withdrawing money from it last week and, once word got round that it was doing so, crowds gathered to take advantage of its generosity before the company closed it down.
The company showed a rare philosophical side when reporters asked its spokesman to comment: ‘Because it happens so rarely and is dealt with very quickly when it arises, there is no point in being grim-faced about it. If the people using the ATM see it as a bit of fun, so be it.’ He added: ‘We are not going to pursue people. It is up to their conscience whether they return the money or not.’
Customers certainly seem to have regarded it as a bit of fun, and it is clear that none of them seems to have had a conscience since not a single one has yet telephoned to enquire how to return the extra cash they received.
A bank with a sense of humour as well as untypical generosity?
