Reply #35: People who can afford it and prefer the fees over the inconvenience of planning [View All]

ahead, ie carrying 'extra' cash in anticipation of needing it, or running across town or where ever to use their own bank's atm. I'd use a different bank's atm when payment was required and I couldn't use credit, checks (or had none), and didn't have easy access to transportation or it just wasn't worth it to drive 5-10 minutes to save $2-3 in fees.

That was like 10 years ago so now I get cash at the store when using my debit card or just plan ahead to have cash when I'll need it. As the other poster said we will probably all be affected by this if it takes off with the mega banks and other smaller ones raise or move up to fees that pale in comparison.

To me this is just another stupid greedy move by big banks and I hope more people move further from them as best fits their situation, the only way it seems these mega banks could 'learn' anything is from customers as the government is complacent in punishing or breaking them up.
