Do I look like the Bank Of America?

Like many retail establishments, our store takes debit cards and you do have an option to get a limited amount of cash back with your transaction. At our store, the most extra you can take out per transaction is $50. If you need more than that, then there is a regular ATM machine right next door. It would take literally less than 2 minutes to walk from the pharmacy in our store to the ATM in the grocery store next door. Well, apparently that was too long a walk for one woman. She wanted $150 and she wasn't about to walk all the way to the grocery store. So she broke her purchase up into 3 transactions - and took $50 each time. The only problem with that is that she wiped out the cash drawer in the process. You see, there is a reason we have a $50 limit - we don't keep a lot of cash in the register because we don't want to get robbed. But I guess it's okay that we didn't have any cash left to make change for the next customers - I mean we did save that woman that long long walk........ What the f*ck is wrong with you? (And what the f*ck is wrong with my company that they can't invest in a computer that will halt the transaction with a simple statement like "funds not available."?)
