Our local Sainsbury's has such a machine. I think it charges 7%. I refuse to use this on the grounds that I'm perfectly capable of putting the money in bags from the bank. My wife is not very impressed with my attitude on the grounds that 1) I'm a skinflint and 2) I never actually get round to doing it.

The guv'mint have just backed down after public protests. I'm not sure I actually blame them: it's the sort of thing that ends up with riots in the streets. George Osborne and pasties springs to mind.
