๐ฐ๐ธ Just a quick post to clear up a few things regarding our ATM, as it seems to be causing a bit of confusion ๐ฐ๐ธ
When we first looked into installing an ATM, the companies we spoke to offered to supply and refill the machine themselves. However, this would have meant a charge of around ยฃ2.50 per transaction for customers ๐ฒ๐ทโ
After exploring lots of different options, we found a company willing to install a FREE-TO-USE ATM ๐๐๐ท, provided that we refill it ourselves.
The challenge is that we can only load the ATM with cash that comes into the shop ๐ต๐ช. As a small local business โค๏ธ, we donโt have unlimited access to cash, and demand for the machine has turned out to be much higher than we ever anticipated ๐๐
.
While the ATM isnโt strictly for customers only, we have noticed a significant increase in people popping in solely to use the ATM and then heading straight back out again, particularly when other nearby machines run out of cash ๐ง๐ธ.
Weโre proud to provide this service for Bessbrook โค๏ธ๐๏ธ Unfortunately, there will be times when the machine is out of cash or temporarily unavailable โ ๏ธ๐ง.
We completely understand that this can be frustrating ๐, but please remember that weโre a small local business doing our very best ๐ชโค๏ธ. We donโt make any money from the ATM ๐ทโ and have never installed it for profit.
If demand continues to exceed what weโre able to supply ๐๐ธ, we may have to reconsider the ATM altogether and return to offering cashback only ๐ณโก๏ธ๐ต, ensuring our regular customers can still access cash when they need it.
๐ Thank you all for your support, patience and understanding. It really is appreciated โค๏ธโ๐ช
And rememberโฆ
๐ท๐ CASH IS QUUUUEEEEEN!!
