The shop people claim the ATMs are "nothing to do with us", so it could
be a branding thing like Virgin Trains being nothing to do with Virgin
Bank.

Not so: both the stores and bank are wholly owned by Tesco plc, but are run
separately. Probably for security reasons, the store staff won't have
anything to do with operating the ATMs.

The reason I was talking to them was precisely a "security reason"
because the external lighting to the area where the ATMs are located had
failed, causing people to have to operate the ATMs in the dark, while
all kinds of dodgy characters could be lurking in the shadows.

"Not our problem" the shop said.
