yep and I've had ones short change me, hence now I always count
what the machine gives me before departing the scene.
I rang the bank branch who owned the machine the next working
day and told them. They "balanced" the machine (ie. counted
the money and matched transactions etc) and found it had
more than it should by exactly the amount I claimed ($40 or
$60 or something) so they gave it back to me.
