Short changed by a bank machine

Went to the bank today and withdrew £90 yet I only got £80.

Has anyone had this happen to them before?

Is it just a case of contacting my bank as it was a bank machine at a supermarket, not my bank itself.

Aint a massive amount but it's the principle really!

I did some work on deploying ATM machines before, they are very tightly monitored.

If it gave you less than you asked for it will have 10 quid more in it than it is supposed to so the bank can easily check.

Call up the bank as soon as possible, there is usually a phone number on the back of your card, and ask them what the process is for reporting this.

Happened to my girlfriend at a supermarket cash point. She phoned the bank up straight away and they refunded her about a week later.
