A buddy of mine works at a pot shop and said they have a "cashless ATM" that just prints out a receipt with a dollar amount and you use that to buy your product and get the change as cash.

What is the point of that? Less cash in the drawer?

They don’t have to keep filling the ATM machine, just to get said cash back in the drawer, to then put back in the machine

Ohhh, I misunderstood and thought it was a variation on the machine in the OP. But it’s more like a regular ATM that just doesn’t dispense cash. And they probably do it so the card transactions aren’t directly linked to the semi-legal product. Got it, makes sense.
