Of course, accidents did happen occasionally. I remember one day, as the tube was moving up the pipe, the screws came loose and the pod went flying across the store, hitting an elderly man in the cobblers. He was ok though, just having a new heel put on his shoe.
Our Tesco still has one, noticed it today while waiting to buy my tobacco. The cashier was putting cash into tubes & putting them into a tube I'd never noticed before on the wall, it goes up to the office & then gets put in a safe I guess. I mentioned it to her.It doesn't come back though, one way only. This was the tobacco & enquiries desk area, the other tills give the money to a supervisor who them must give it to that desk area, I've seen them doing that. Fancy me never noticing that before.
