For the past several years, most banks have done everything in their power to discourage the average customer from using their tellers (most of whom are newly-trained morons whom I'd rather NOT see anyway.....the feeling is more than mutual). Now they have the nerve to raise their ATM fees substantially and blame it on rising costs. There have also been reports that some banks are studying/considering the feasibility of charging customers for using a teller. What the hell do they want us to do.....keep the $$$ under a mattress? BTW.....ATM's are basically the financial self-service equivalent of self-service gas stations. Last I checked, gas prices at self-service pumps were cheaper than full-service. Bottom line: the banks are PIGS.
