The dude behind you just took a thermal image of the keys you pushed, and he's got your code.

Best place to get cash is in a supermarket as a cashback.

I agree Rik and that's where I get most of mine.  The other reasonably safe place is a cash point inside the bank.  At least it's locked at night so nobody can fiddle around with it.

Yes, I usually go inside the bank too.
