Morrisons Daily customers now have to pay for a previously free service at select stores across the UK.
The supermarket giant has begun trialling pay-to-use ATMs at a handful of its convenience stores.
Using ATMs at Morrisons Daily shops used to be free.
But the use of cash machines has dropped significantly due to an increase in cashless payments, and as a result, Morrisons is looking for ways to keep an ATM service for customers.
Morrisons said the change will allow customers to continue withdrawing cash at their local Daily site rather than losing the ATM service entirely.
Pricing decisions for ATMs are not controlled by Morrisons as they are operated by external providers.
Morrisons shoppers slam new ATM charge
The new fee to use ATMs at select Morrisons Daily store has not gone down well with shoppers, with the change being labelled "very unfair".
One person, posting about the new charge on the Stakeford Matters Facebook page, said: "This is very unfair and a precedent of free withdrawals has been set for many many years.
"Time to write to your MP. This is another tax on people and your money."
Another person simply wrote: "MP contacted."
Morrisons looking to sell in-store pharmacies
News of new ATM charges comes just days after reports that Morrisons is looking to sell some of its in-store pharmacies as it continues to cut costs.
According to reports, the supermarket giant has instructed property agents to sell some of its pharmacies on a store-by-store basis.

This comes after it was concluded that many of its pharmacies are not financially viable.
Morrisons will not sell all of its 120 in-store pharmacies, and those affected would likely remain open under a different brand.
The pharmacy sales follow a restructuring plan at Morrisons last year, which saw the closure of 52 cafes, all of its 18 market kitchens, 17 Morrisons Daily convenience stores, 13 florists, 35 meat counters and 35 fish counters.
