If I ever have to pay for an ATM transaction at my own bank, I'll go
move my money to another bank.  While I can understand charging for
use of a foreign ATM (all banks pay fees for transactions over inter-
bank networks, so the fee gets passed on to you), there is no excuse
for charging for use of the local machine.

If your bank is charging you for use of the teller, go to another
bank.  There are plenty that don't.

The bank isn't going to care about your complaints, but they'll notice
if you close your account and go to a competitor.  Be sure to write a
letter to the branch manager and the bank's president explaining why
you closed your account.
