    If I ever withdraw from a competitior's bank machine I pay ~4.50 in total fees. 2.00 to Bank of America (my bank) and usually ~2.50 to the competitor.

      Lol... I seriously used to live in a building that had like 50 Romanians in it. Then again that was like 14 years ago.

      And as far as I know, I've never seen a PCFinancial in Quebec.

        They don't have any branches, so this doesn't surprise me.

          I know a handful of romanians. Some pretty hot and tempting ones, too. I wonder if they all grow up aspiring to move to Montreal. I mean, it would make sense.

                Here's hoping Layton moves on to banning making a profit on groceries. Now that I think of it, why are we forced to pay for electricity? Interesting.

                    Christ that's barbaric. I don't pay any fees for withdrawing cash from any ATM in the UK, no matter which bank owns the machine.
                    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                        That's why I withdraw my money at the supermarket.

                        I'll buy a Snapple and get $100 in "change".
                        No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                          I just use BoA ATMs. No fee.

                          Plus, I only make 1-2 cash withdrawals per month. Most days I don't have any cash in my pocket. I pay for almost everything with credit card, then pay that off at the end of the month.

                                My bank (a small employee credit union - a holdover from a job my mother used to have when I was a kid) doesn't charge me for withdrawls from other banks' machines, but I'll still get hit with the $1.50 - $2.00 charge from the machine, which sucks. There is one ATM within 1/2 an hour drive of my house that doesn't charge me at all.

                                But cashback at the grocery store works just fine.
