For shoppers in the town of Birkerød, it must have been like a dream come true: an ATM spitting out 1,000 kroner notes.
The Danske Bank ATM decided to suddenly start contributing to people’s Christmas shopping budgets earlier this week by gushing out the big bucks in quick succession.
However, Bo Søfeldt Hansen, an employee at the bank, was quick to get outside and spoil the fun for the open-mouthed passers-by
“I’ve never gotten out of my chair as fast as I did when I noticed the problem,” he told local news website Lokalavisen.dk. “But for a second I couldn’t stop looking around for hidden cameras.”
Much to the bank’s delight, the people witnessing the generous ATM helped collect all the notes and returned them to the bank.
Although he can’t remember just how much money the machine spit out, branch manager Palle Lange Andersen wasn’t stressed by the episode.
“We have surveillance cameras, so we would probably recognise people if they had run off with the cash.”
