I used a particular credit union's ATM that I've never used before. For a $500 withdrawal, it dispensed five c-notes. Fast food and gas stations cannot or will not always break a $100. The door girl who collects covers and asks if you need singles can always spare some fives, tens, or twenties to break a c-note.
I moved 3 years ago but kept my same bank. The ATM’s I was used to only dispensed twenties but this bank has newer ATM’s where I now live and they give you the option of denominations including 100’s and 50’s. I think it defaults to $50 if you don’t choose a mix.
I normally use a CC at gas stations but it pisses be off they won’t accept large bills. Especially at the price of gas. Several years ago I hit a gas station specifically to get gas AND break a big bill before going to the club and they wouldn’t accept it.
Some PNC machines have singles. Best thing is you don't have to make an excuse for the teller like, "I'm having a garage sale and need to make change."
ATMs give you twenties when republicans control so you can buy $20 worth of goods and hundreds when Democrats are in control so you can buy $20.00 worth of goods.
I’ve been at an ATM too often at 11:55PM then withdraw again at 12:05AM to circumvent the daily maximum withdrawal. Almost always because of a bar with friends that didn’t use credit cards, or if they did, you didn’t want to open a tab because it was too busy and who knows what would be charged on your card by the end of the night.
Best thing about ATMs dispensing large bills is that I can tell at a glance I got the correct number of bills.
Although, I have to say, I have never had an ATM dispense an incorrect amount. This does not jibe with my paranoia and conspiracy theories, however. So I keep checking.
I do feel sorry for the poor youngsters who can only afford to pull out 20 or 40 bucks at a time and have to pay a $3 fee each time. Do schools teach this day to day stuff any more? Many of us think we were born smart, when in fact, if you think back, somebody was explaining things to us.

Funniest thing I've seen are NY bodegas that dispense $5s.
