I think I saw a pretty bad floor decision today

Playing 15/30 and guy on the button busts out and has only 3 dollars left. He wants to do a short rebuy for 100 but says he isnt allowed since he doesnt have enough for a short rebuy. So he says he'll go to the ATM but wants to be dealt in on the button. Dealer calls floor and floorman asks the guy how much is he going to get from the ATM. He says 400 for a total of 500 and the floorman says he's 500 behind.

I think this was a very bad decision for a couple reasons

If the guy loses more than 100 on the next hand he may go to the ATM and never come back or says he cant get anything out of the ATM.

If the guy wins and still has to go to the ATM and comes back not being able to get cash. Then there's another mess.

Although this was moot since the guy folded his hand on the button, I think it was a very bad decision just so the guy can play his button. Any opinions?
