The amount of purchase, for example, is $10.
When you put in your card to pay, you have the option of getting cash back (comes off your card balance)
The machine spits back to you in dollars the difference.

I buy something for $10
I tell the machine I want $100 cash back
It spits out $100 cash, and charges my card $110.
