WTF? That’s frickin’ highway robbery. My salary is via direct deposit every month, and as long as I have DD there are no monthly fees for my bank account, for getting cash back at a store, or for getting cash from one of my bank’s ATMs with my debit card.

McD’s and Walmart workers, and any other minimum wage earner, usually don’t have bank accounts because they are frequently overdrawn. They have to rely on check cashing, “advance paycheck” and other high-fee services that are barely legal loan sharks.

ATM’s charge a fee if the user does not have an account at the bank that maintains the ATM.

It’s just another example of how the poor get screwed over.
