My cash float of $10 notes was used up so I had to top it up. But I wasn't about to queue in a bank in the morning for 20 $10 notes. So I thought what the heck, just withdraw from an ATM. Each time just draw $40 so it will only dispense $10 notes. But I'll have to perform 5 transactions for it. Thus I had to make sure there was no queue behind me before I proceed. Picking a time slot of 11pm seems acceptable.
I started by drawing $500 first after which I started on the $10 notes quest. Everytime a transaction was completed I will check to ensure there's nobody waiting behind me. Coast was clear for all transactions. But just as I was about to collect the last batch of $10 notes from the ATM, an indian uncle sprung out from behind a wall & started hurling tamil abuses (some of which I quite understand). Initially I thought he had wanted to rob me but the size ratio seems more appropriate if I were the one robbing him. Nonetheless I gracefully apologised & hastily moved off.
First time receiving reprimand because of an ATM...
