That irritating bank. Grrr. I read they've been taken over, maybe
you'll have more choices with the new bank. Till then I would get
enough cash from their ATM at any given time to hold you over,
rather than pay $1.50 to each bank. They get you coming and
going. It's a blatant ripoff.

I agree, but there's no chance they think they're fooling anyone
that the fee is only to cover costs. They charge what they can
get away with.
