ATM short change

[Nephi]

Where computers are involved anything is possible. I use ATM's multipal times per month here and have never had a problem. Seems more than likely that new bills stuck togather and you handed more to the girl at Jollibee OR some slipped out on the floor. Makes ya wonder though especially when it's that much missing..

One of the problems I have with my aging eyesight is mistaking those 1,000s for 100s.  They spend real fast when you do that.

I admit to doing that during my last visit. Sucks when that happens.

Always count the money at the ATM and most definately at money changers.  I count with the clerk at the changers, then when I get it, before I move away, I count it again.

I was aware of the aging eyes making it difficult to see print, I arrange my bills so the largest font of the numbers is what I see. I was not aware my next problem is forgetting the difference between purple (p100s) and blue (p1,000s)!!!

It is particularly hard in dim light when leaving a 'tip' on your way out.

Not only aging eyes. I have noticed when I hire a car the driver usually states in English the amount tendered when buying fuel or paying road tolls. "I you give you one thousand pesos" and "I get one hundred pesos."

I have had the money slot on the ATM close faster than I could get the money out and had to call the guard to help get my cash out.  Could you have left some in there when the slot closed|?

Same issue Dave cost me P3000 just closed so fast. Complained filled out forms but nothing, put it down to experience.
