Ever consider they might have been doing this as bit of fun.? The Thai owner is the real loser, being found to operate an illegal business.
The "aliens" being naive. or stupid or both but the owner taking the "potential jobs" from Thais by choosing not to employ Thais !
I use cardless ATM and on several occasions have been found waiting for the card to re-appear !
I get easily distracted by the pretty thing working at Dunkin Donuts.

Meanwhile South Korea has found themselves again in the position of needing to offer an amnesty for Thais overstaying/working illegally.
