While people at ATMs are usually doing fast transactions, there are
usually more of them on line than there are on a teller's line.
Unfortunately, when you get on a teller line, you usually are behind
some bozo who wants to do 6 months of banking in one visit.

I always thought that this just happens with me, especially when I just
want to complete one very quick transaction or buy one postage stamp.

When this happens, you should perhaps remind yourself that the
customers who take the most time are usually business customers who
pay significant bank charges that help fund free banking for personal
customers like you. =A0;-)

I always figured that they got free use of my money, especially with
my checking account, which pays me no interest at all. THAT should
fund my free banking.


In your dreams. When my bank introduced free banking for personal
customers, it raised charges for small business customers by 150%.

Your "free" banking is funded by higher bank charges for business,
ultimately passed on to, and paid for by, the customers of those
business, i.e. you.
