I made the mistake of forgetting not only my lunch, but also
one of my bank cards at home, on top of not having enough time to eat
breakfast. We have an ATM at our work which is
for a specific bank, like most are, but unfortunately, it was for the
same card I left at home. I was forced to use another one. I knew I was about
to be ripped off, but I wasn’t aware of how bad. A text popped up and said that
the ATM was going to charge me $2.50 for using a card from another bank. Then
the text popped up again, talking about the $2.50. I assumed it was the same
charge, so I agreed to both of them. When I checked my bank account later that
day, I realized it was for two separate charges. Not only did an ATM charge me
to take money out of it, my bank did the same thing. My bank, the guys who I
bank with charged me. I don’t know much about banking, but I find it weird that
both fees were for the same amount, as if a bunch of dicks who run banks sat
around and agreed that they should screw people over for the same price, twice.
The worst part is that I only withdrew $10. I had shitty lunch and paid a lot
of money for it. Hang the bankers.
ATM fees are usually marked up 600%.
