Yes, they can. You should always check the money which is dispensed from a cash machine, it's one reason why I always ask for a receipt slip if I use one. The shops can give wrong change too.
Please don't tell me that you are paying for your kitchen in cash.....
thanks boxy - well, then definitely machine (I am not talking about dispensers) am talking about physical - ie lady banker was wrong - God I make some mistakes. Yes I did pay cash Boxy without too much information I had to pay it that way as I did not have enough in account.
Each bank branch must balance up at the end of each day. If your branch gave you £100 less than your cheque required, this will show up in the day's cash accounts - i.e. the bank will have £100 more than it should have.
Go see them on Monday morning. they will be expecting someone to come in and ask about being £100 short.
If the cashier was wrong then her till will be out at the end of day by £100. Go back to the bank tomorrow and they should be able to see that an error was made on their part.
No the teller did not count out the money - I have seen these machines before but I trusted them implicitly. I have no idea how they work but I assume - they type or tap the amount and the machine within secs dispenses the money.
Usually when I do bits and bobs of shopping I couldn't vouch for things - but today I can - I spent less than £20 in PS and £30 to groomer of which I had £10.
Could you have given too much in pound-stretchers or dropped some notes somewhere maybe? Hope not and hope you find it. Check all pockets one more time.
