The 2016-2017 "Other Money" Brag Thread!

[Ciel]

@Shwa Girl - I saw this article on self-checkouts in the UK and design issues/ergonomics contribute to cashback funds left in dispensers. How much "other money" got left behind?

But shortcomings in the design of many a checkout are also leaving us shortchanged: ergonomic issues include poor placement of the cash dispenser (inconveniently situated beside your knee-cap) and the fact that cashback is issued only after the receipt, and emerges from a different area of the machine. This confounds many a shopper and results in as much as £2.5m a year being left in self-service dispensers.

With the Euro exchange rate at about $1.46 Cdn, that sum is about $3.67M Cdn. Lots of money for an SC group Hawaiian vacation.
