Personal: Angry at my bank

I’m mad as hell at my bank.

One reason I signed up with the Laurentian is that it had ATMs in every metro station, and for awhile I was moving around a lot so that was handy, and often it still is. Meantime, they closed branches all over town, including mine, but there were always the ATMs, even if you couldn’t deposit cheques in them.

Not long ago a notice was posted on the Jarry ATM saying it was about to be removed and replaced with a generic one. I wish I’d photographed that notice, because I’m morally certain it also said the replacement machine would not add extra charges for withdrawals. So I wasn’t too concerned about the switch.

Except, I tried to use that new ATM Sunday afternoon. It wanted $3.50 to give me my own money.

Three fucking fifty!

There are still Laurentian ATMs in most metro stations, but if anyone should see a similar removal notice, especially if it makes any promises about future charges, please take a picture. I want to smack some bank president around the head with it.
