LOL Google "Cashless ATM" or "Script Machine" and you'll find these units. Use that first term and you'll even find one on eBay right now.

It sounds like a great addition to their restaurant though since people can still use their credit cards. I know a few business that could benefit from that type of addition.

That business can be hard enough, get a merchant account and make some money. I saw a pizza place in FL that didn't take plastic and I was in awe. Ah, but you can still pay if you're short on cash. They had a sort of ATM machine there, not the normal one though... it was a terminal that debited their account, put the money in the pizza places account and even got the person a few bucks cash if they wanted it, right out of the restaurants register. Yup, it printed a slip that you hand in with your bill which shows you paid and lets you get some cash if you got extra. And doing it that way, the restaurant not only incurs no fees, I bet they even make a few bucks - not to mention not losing any sales! (Of course the customer gets hit with fees, in most cases at least, I'm sure.) Wow, that’s hard to believe - a restaurant not taking credit cards and turning away business.
