Santanders freaky Friday cash machine

I went to withdraw £5.00 from a Santander cash machine and pressed for other amount. I inputted the quoted figure and it displayed the min was £10.00.
I then pressed for that figure and it issued two £5.00 notes.
Very strange indeed!

I think he means that because the machine had £5 notes in it, why would it not let him withdraw just £5 (one note) instead of having to withdraw £10 (two notes).
It's slow, it's wrong, it's Santander.0 -

Minimum withdrawal of £10 is common in any cash machines, not only Santander. I think here to prevent disappointment in the first instance, as there is no guarantee that there is always enough supply of £5 note in that cash machine ...Rupert_Bear wrote: »I went to withdraw £5.00 from a Santander cash machine and pressed for other amount.

C'mon, it's 2011. Decent cash machines even tell you what notes they have available these days.0 -

Then the machine would realise and raise the minimum withdrawal to £10, in the same way as when it runs out of £10 notes, it would raise the minimum to £20?43580 -
That is annoying. Ive never had a £5 note from a cash machine or the option to only take £5 always has been £10 although some are now £20 even more annoying.0

£5 notes are in short supply these days thats why most have a £10 min0
