I hate banks.
<br /><br />I need a new ATM card cause I wore this one out (or maybe the wife did?) Anyway, it doesnt work any more. So I ask for a replacment, but I want to be sure I still get the high daily withdrawl limit. I travel a lot and I need to be able to get a wad of cash quickly sometimes. I argued with the teller to make sure it has the high limit. She cant guarantee anything. I say fine, if it isnt right, "I'll be back".<br /><br />Last time I did this they gave me a new card, but limited me to only 300 bucks a day via ATM. If I want more I have to go to the bank. I dont have time to go to the bank. So I ask them to raise my limit. They refuse. I say, but my old card had a high limit. They say they cant raise mine on new card cause I had a couple of bad checks (my fault, I forgot about them). Maybe they can raise it later. Then they say, all other banks have a low limit. I say "just cause all banks do it, doesnt make it right" (reminds me of my mother). Then they say its also for my protection. I say BS. The limit if you use ATM card for a credit card purchase is 3000, but ATM cash is only 300. If someone found my card wouldnt it be easier for them to forge my signature to make a 3000 dollar purchse than it would be for them to use ESP to get my PIN to make a 300 dollar withdrawl?<br /><br />In the mean time, I suddenly get another ATM card in the mail to replace the worn out one. IT HAS THE HIGH LIMIT!! I tell no one cause if they find out I am withdrawling large chunks of my own money, they may hunt me down.<br /><br />After all it is my money, they only let me get out a certain amount at a time. Hmmm. I wonder if they have a vested interest in keeping my moeny in the bank. You think????<br /><br />Again I hate banks. Problem is, if I change banks I get the same treatment. Were all trapped!!!<br /><br />Not to mention the 5 bucks they make if I dont use their ATM. Not to mention the 30 bucks they charge if I go one cent into the red!!!<br /><br />I HATE BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Ok I feel better now.<br /><br />Ken
