ATM dispenses free money, people respond accordingly

Recommended Posts

Christmas came early for a bunch of happy Houston-ites after an ATM in the area began issuing $100 bills instead of $10 bills.

Customers generously shared the information on social media, drawing a crowd at the Harris County machine, Associated Press has reported.

In footage shot by local news channel KPRC-TV, people even lined up in their cars for their turn - less Mad Max-esque as it sounds, as the ATM appears to be located in the middle of a carpark.

KPRC also reported there was some physical conflict among the milling customers, which is probably to be expected.

The bank has not said how much cash was wrongly dispensed.

They attributed the error to the happy accident of a vendor incorrectly loading $100 bills instead of $10 bills into the machine.

The machine was shut down and even drew a police guard after the error was discovered.

However, perhaps themselves possessed by the spirit of the imminent holiday season, the bank declared all customers would be allowed to keep the extra money.

No word about the poor fellow who caused the "happy accident" loading the bills? Probably has to pay for it!
