You just know when the presenter said "coin operated bathrooms" ,the West jet guy was like , why the hell didn't we think of that.
where I live, "coin operated bathrooms" (they aren't called bathrooms where I live) DO exist in some places, I have used one before, although the coin acceptor thingy is at the entrance rather than on the individual cubicles, and sometimes there is a window where you pay instead of a coin acceptor
the highest I've known the charge to be on these is 40p ($0.71 CAD)
EDIT: most of them are 20p ($0.35 CAD) though, I've only seen one which was 40p so far, and the one I used was 20p, the ones which have a window generally charge less for children, usually 10p ($0.18 CAD)
that´s really common in Mexico... I haven´t actually seen a free bathroom here lol, except in places like hotels or restaurants, but not really free since they usually ask for your consumption ticket 🤔
I absolutely LOVE how the main host woman was roasting the financial lady! 😂
ya and you could see that if the fee was not there her job would be gone or she wouldn't be making as much as she is and that is where the fees go, some goes to programs but mostly to c.e.o's wage increase every year
Don't worry about the banks. Their days are numbered already. Crypto will take over in some years, then we do not need them greedy bankers anymore.

I love watching these Canadian TV shows 😊

I only watch 2/3 of them
+HeyThatsMrDave ?
Same I'm in the states and love how they can actually interview people in charge and speak by name who is and isn't doing their job as advertised
@@newhale07 why can't you in the US?
I have a $25 convenience fee for my mortgage and car payments if I make them online. I ALWAYS mail them in. They want me to pay more money to give them my money. Hell goes with no right there!!
Lady Cheyne is that $25 per month or annually?
But I had my check lost once, and I am forever done with mails. But my bank doesn't charge me.
@@SkyyPiano That's per month. They're not getting anything extra🤣🤣🤣
@@houchi69 I don't like automatic debits. I don't like anyone in my account but me🤣🤣🤣
Shop around with different banks and insurance brokers, compare prices and then use them against each other.
OK so here is what I learned:
5. Don't go to concerts about artist that are nothing but the creation of marketing and consumerism, because they will milk you down to the last dollar.
4. Don't pay for the seats together in the plane. Instead of that make a drama on the plane about strangers sitting next to your kids, make sure the captain have to come and says that you all have to sit together.
3. Your bank is too far away for driving there so you go to that bank on the corner instead? Just one of this days open an account there too... You can have accounts in multiple banks, there is not problem doing this.
2. Get your bills online.
1. Rotary phones are obsolete, But so are land lines... Go mobile.
+Phaosphoros Mobile companies in Canada is not much better. Rogers,Bell,& Telus extracts every dollar out of people in hidden fees as well.
+go na
I will not be surprise of this.
I loved my rotary phone!!!! It was so much fun to have, especially when there was 3 party lines. Now how many people remember those days? There were a lot of fights over who was going to get off the line so so-and-so could have it. Or pray tell there was an emergency! And then pick up the line and hear that person just gabbing away....Yeap. Rotary, party lines, dial-up...the times are changing.
Growing up in Taiwan,we never had party lines, even in rural areas. Instead, every telephone line goes through a switch that is connected to the nearest telephone exchange. Since most of the telephone lines in rural areas were connected to the nearest exchanges, phone numbers vary even in the same area. By early 2000 the phone provider decided to remove all copper telephone lines from use and switch to fibre. Today rotary dialing is still possible, but not many people use it anymore. So all landline services are connected to a fiber optic splitter then the fiber is feed into the exchange. Not only we have the one of the world's fastest service,we also have one of the lowest costs for internet and telephone service in the world yet provides amazing quality.
"I want my banking information sent to me!"
"Well there's a charge for it to be sent in the mail."
"I want it free!"
"We can e-mail it for free."
"But I want it on paper!"
"Well that costs us money."
"But I want it free."
+Nicholas Spring "We charge you money for your important information to be delivered to you in cheap printer paper, for bank statements, only because we encourage you to go green to save the earth, but you can opt to get emails instead for free."
"But why are you giving me tons of ads in the mail, printed out of thick premium stock paper, high amounts of quality ink, in grand letters and envelopes telling me to get more credit cards and rewards programs, all for free?"
"..."
+Jeremy Sidabutar marketing
So it's ok to give me a fee for a piece of paper to know how much I owe the bank? Also, they're charging a fee on paper "to go green", and it's an "effort to keep costs low." Most hypocritical bull I've ever heard of.
There's a comment down below that says how idiotic of a statement it is, that they're charging you a fee, to keep costs low. Think about that for a minute. No sense whatsoever.
+Jeremy Sidabutar they're prepared to pay for the paper that advertises their business or reminds you to pay because they will make money off of those, they don't make any money off of sending you a monthly statement - so they are loosing money unless they charge you
HOWEVER
if you get an online statement, giving you the statement costs them nothing (that's the low cost part) so they won't charge you for it
It's not fair to expect them to eat the cost on something that will generate NO business
Really? They're losing money on giving you a piece a paper on how much you actually owe the bank? Doubt it. They're profiting, correct me if I'm wrong, from the video, 70 million. It doesn't cost anywhere near that amount. Clearly a cash grab.
Heck, it would be better marketing to tell people that their company doesn't have these insane fees, instead of packing in 20 pounds of junk mail in each mailbox.
Why is it acceptable for a company to claim that they care about being green, when they're not applying even applying it in their marketing.
TERRIBLE PUBLIC IMAGE.
I like how the banker's answer is "go ahead, switch banks then." They've given up the pretense that it isn't just one giant money-sucking entity, and they all get rich no matter what machine you use.
To me, what the banker said made complete sense: if it's 25 minutes to get to your branch, yet there is a branch of another bank much closer, why not bank with the closer bank? I've switched banks before, and changing bank accounts is not *that* much work, and would certainly be worth avoiding a 50-minute round trip to get to the nearest branch.
To be honest, it is very easy to switch banks, I do it all the time now out of principal. People have this tendency to think it is complicated, it's not. It takes some time but well worth it. I do this all time and for AUTO/HOME insurances too. The gauge you every year with an increase... so what I do I can when they send me my renewal with an increase. They call you after to see what they can do to make me stay... guess what too late, you should have done that before f&*%$#@ me over. That banker's attitude was very wrong.... basically saying go elsewhere if you're not happy, then we do. I love it when they call offering their products... GO to Hell comes out my mouth all the time.
Canadians are so polite and low key, it's amusing to watch their reactions to being ripped off compared to people here in the U.S.
Lol ikr
#1 Dumb charge. Greyhound Gift fee, when a person buys a bus ticket for some other than themselves there is an additional $18 fee for a $40 ticket
Yeah. That's a really dumb one.
Y
100% support not going to see Katy Perry especially since she owns Ticketmaster thanks to you... You go girl! That's the biggest " R O A R" since Katy Perrys song...
all the junk mail but we pay for our bills. There's a reason why banks have the biggest buildings
Centralized banks are the biggest threat to humanity.
I left bell long ago. They don't treat long time customers very well. They are the biggest and most expensive.
We left them after over 40+ years, because of their BS. They`re hemorrhaging customers because of their poor treatment of longtime clients. It won`t be much longer before old Ma Bell is in her grave.
When you go on a plane. You can ask passengers to swap seats with you. Im short, and once was in a seat with lots of leg room. I swapped seats with a really tall guy when he asked me.
now that was really nice of you... but many other people would have not done the same.... I am the smallest in my family with 1,78 m and I do have problems with the space available in the plane... thank you for being a nice human being / passenger from Germany 🤗
When I see dumb charges on my bills, I have excused companies for sooooo long because “it’s not worth my time arguing for a few bucks”. But after watching this, it made me realized the absurdity of these fees that theses companies are SCAMMING from me. I live in Oklahoma and I have to pay for each individual UTILITY on a single bill: water processing fee, sewer processing fee, etc. That’s on top of the actual “processing fee” of the bill. ENOUGH!
It's so easy to avoid ATM fees, just buy a pack of gum and get cash back for free.
And you get gum without feeling guilty
Tru Neilson Not all stores offer that, but yeah that’s what I do. Rarely go to atm, and like never to another banks. My bf seems to love those fees though. He’ll use a diff atm when his is half a mile up the street...
Got to be careful about cash back because not all places offer it and some still get charged a convenience charge - at least that's here in the US
@@rebeccacole6954 yeah I was going to say that. Dollar tree and family dollar charge you an extra dollar for getting cash back.
Some places still charge you food cash back.
My dumbest charge is resort fees for staying at a hotel. If the resort fee is mandatory it should be included in the price it could add an extra $25 a night to your stay.
Resort fees is a tax, it has to be paid separately so they would count and pay it to the government
It's like sales tax - always goes separately on any receipt
its all about money no one gives a crap if you satisfied or unsatisified
Ticket Master can rip you off because they have a monopoly. No competition means you're stuck with them.
GEES44DC people should avoid going to games ,showed and events for 1 year ,I know totally impossible but it may work.🤣👍
They are dead to me. Complete ripoff.
@@evelinholmes6401 or....get your tickets directly from the seller/venue. There isn't a monopoly, people are just lazy.
@@shayslay3416 not every venue allows you to buy from them. I know of two near me I've went to and they said you can only buy tickets online from ticket master. They don't sale them at the venue itself.
It's a luxury tax. You don't want to pay the fee, get scalped tickets.
The WestJet spokesperson said the plane would not go without families with young children sitting together. They have full control of the check-in process and seating, and always reserve the right to change seats even from paying passengers. He said it himself and yet the customer said "I'll keep paying these fees" even though he doesn't have to. This whole program is ridiculous and just ignores the facts while bitching bitching bitching....
How is that man fighting seat charges when he keeps paying.
Flying is a luxury, get over it. How many South African kids are flying to Disneyworld?
Flying is a luxury, get over it. How many South African kids are flying to Disneyworld?
Okay, let's be honest here, yes, the Ticketmaster charges are ridiculous, but so too is paying money (any money) to see Katie Perry.

Mom on the program: who's your favorite singer
Young daughter on program: Katy Perry
Mom on the program: What's your favorite song?
Young daughter on program: I kissed a girl and I liked it
Tammy Sigmon Buy the music video and she can watch whenever 👍
I was horrified when I watched that segment because the last person I want my daughter idolizing is Katy Perry.. or any women like Katy Perry. I don’t know what the hell that mom was thinking.
I hate how they call it a “convenient fee” bc it’s NOT convenient for ME to pay that!
Charging for sending your bank statement but not for junk mail- weird, they could just put both inside the same envelope?
that go green argument was right on the nose... ouch!
I totally agree with you here
Another charge that how now become as redundant as the touch-tone fee, is the $2.99 digital services fee charged to cable customers. It used to be considered an upgraded service from analog, so the fee might have once made sense. But now that all cable has been converted to digital, you no longer have a choice.
you guys waste your money on cable. I have not had cable in my home for over 25 years. Why spend the money on it when all the crap can be seen on the internet. Now if you got suckered in to that bundle package I feel sorry for you. The power goes out and all communication from that home is dead-that is what the bundle (phone, cable and internet package)gets you. Nope that crap cable box will NOT be in my home; EVER.
I don't need cable. I have android boxes & Gaming Laptops, Desktops, tablets, phablets, etc. But the wife likes to pay & watch some live shows the minute they come on. She can't wait to see it the next day, lol.😅 Plus she doesn't want to hear about less expensive ways you can watch some live programs with other devices. So f,k, it. Lol.😅
Catherine Bourgeois you are very generous I believe it’s more than that at least here in Canada 🇨🇦
TRINITYADAMS69 I agree with you but I can’t convince my Husband .
The "oil recycling fee" you pay when you get an oil change! There are companies that BID on buying the used oil! They get the oil, collect the recycling fee, and then sell the oil to a recycler!
Belgium = no bank atm fee, I can withdraw from any bank.. No paper fee, move here
I agree. It is unfair for customers pay an extra fee to selected their seat but the airline have been getting away with it because we've being paying for it. Just like the baggage fees nowadays. LOL
Seat selection fee isn’t completely unreasonable but seat selection should be free before 24 hours before
There are standard fees charged in exchange for a service to cover operational/staff costs and then just there’s straight up robbery because there’s no competition and they can.
The dumbest charge I've ever had was I could pay $2 to print my own concerts tickets at home on my own printer or email them to myself for free lol so I just got them emailed for free and then printed them. But I'm sure they get lots of people that way.
I live in the States, but I simply LOVE watching your channel! And it's nice to know that we have a lot in common with our northern cousins! Wish we had a Marketplace here. :-)
The bank paper fee starts to happen in the USA now too. It is up for grab and they can get away with it, that's why. There should be some law for excess fee from these corporate companies.
Student activity fees are the worst fees in college
I Think Mom is in love with Katie Perry.
Holly crap Canada has some crazy fees.
My power company used to give you a discount for going to e-bill, now they charge you the same fee to receive the paper.. hahaa.. .training us like a bunch of dogs.
Do Canadians think these businesses get paper for free from the government or that stamps are also given to them for free from the government? the paper bills cost the businesses to send them to you. From the cost of paper to the ink to the stamp to paying a person to put it in an envelop cost the business money and the fee is the businesses way of recouping a small amount of the fee back to them. just get it emailed!!
ANYONE HOME? Are you not watching? Banks already make money from your money through investments. Their charging you for information about your account yet sending tons of junk mail.
+Charles Murphy it's all about passing cost to consumers and reducing cost, all businesses do it whether you want to believe it or not, if it cost $.50 to send a piece of paper and free to send an email, they'd want to naturally send an email.
+Moses Yang Then why don't they send tons of emails with junk in them? Why send paper junk mail for free and, thus, waste money?
+lilie burdett they do both. Many people do not have a computer, smartphone or email.
+Charles Murphy A.) Who has a bank account, but not an email? And B.) But that still makes no sense why they would bother wasting money on junk mail well claiming to go green with the fees. It's great that they do email, but why not just email the promotions and save the bills so you have actual, physical record of where you spent that money. No one would freak out if they lost a promo email, but I bet they would if they lost their only copy of bills.
I think people should be charged for paper. We don't need it any more. You can download all bank documents online these days. Paper costs money. Mail services cost money. Trees to make paper cost money. Fuel to transport costs money. WTF do you need paper in 2016? You don't really.
It's all about the hypocrisy. The banks want to go paperless so much that they send you junk mail multiple times a month.
Banks....
NetRolller3D
Yes, hypocrisy, agree! Still, we can do our small part and go paperless. Also, I know, it's another PITA thing we have to think about, but I'm almost sure you can opt off your banks mailing list. I opted out of ALL paper, including solicitation, from HSBC. Maybe each bank is different.
Cheers
Lizzybear29 I'm American, living overseas. It makes my point even more because most of the people who you talk about not having computers or whatnot, from developing nations, HAVE phones. Those phones are their tech device and they are tech savvy. We just don't need paper trails anymore, IMO.
Some companies do charge those who want paper bills mailed to them..
Love these shows. Good job keep them coming CBCMP.
I recommend Scandinavian airlines (SAS) or British airways (BA) because they have a policy to keep families next to each other especially SAS
Kid at 14:29 though. Exactly the reaction I would have to some guy running through the streets shouting about paper.
if you watch all these episodes of Marketplace and dont live in canada, you feel relieved... whata weird country...
ForeverMan ok
ForeverMan ، thinks god I don't leave there
Im in the USA and dont. Because much it it applies in all Western Capitalist type countries.
Pretty judgmental
Its prob better than your country lol
I feel so let down by the lack of protections coming from our government.
I think we will have to pay for our own lobbyists in order to have a say.
I love seeing dumbfounded executives, when they get served a taste of their own BS. They have no clue besides saying it’s policy cuz the government allows it.
Many times when I fly I ask if there is an exit row seat available because it has more leg room for me. Normally when I ask this at the airport, there usually is and they don't charge me a fee.
I haven't flown in almost 30 years and never plan to again.
For the paper charge, I honestly don't understand what is wrong with viewing your statements online?
Luke Fowlie as long as you can access them online FOREVER. I wish they would have an option to email them.
It could be an accessibility issue? Like, for someone with no access or internet or a computer. 🤔
@@johnp139 ....just save it on the computer, to a cloud service, or on a flash drive
@@sabrina246ake When I worked for Rogers, we waived it for individuals that cannot access computers (ie. people with no computers or do not have the skills to operate one, old folks)... but yeah... I don't understand why its dumb to charge a paper fee... if you can view it online and save paper.
Paper bill is more detailed information. Also don't have computer.
My phone company used to charge a fee for tone service we just set the phone to pulse and if we needed to use tones to interact with automated systems we just switched the phone to tone after dialing the number. After many years they stopped the extra charge and included the "service" for "free."
Want to become a real estate agent? your head will be spinning with the stupidest fees and mandatory charges
Atm fees are dumb. I just have one thing to say:
CO-OP ATMs FTW
Should be a law that if more than 50% of the customer have to pay a charge or fee they cannot charge it as it is a necessity of the business operations.
They will raise the cost of Administrative costs and pass that along.

Ambulance. $75 bucks when you call to save your life.
I have cancelled home phone service, cable TV, and changed my cellular service. Charter Communication was charging me $255.00 per month. Now $0.00. Verizon was charging $280.00 for my 5 phone family plan with a cap. I now pay $190.00 for unlimited 5 phone plan with unlimited 5G internet service. Savings per month $345.00 per month or $4,140 per year. We get 36 free channels on our TV. Am I smart, not sure, but richer. How did my changes of service happen? Charter charged me $14 to come to my house to address a wireless internet service problem that was completely unavoidable by me. It was their fault a company lineman knicked my feed cable 30 feet up a utility pole. They said there was nothing they could do.......turns out there was something I could do. Verizon service was fine but they just were to high for my needs.
At least the airlines are getting hit with a taste of this by having to pay extra for safety features on the Max 8!
Airline seat selection fees: I was really annoyed when I was on a flight that wouldn’t release seats at all, then they had to move people forward before taxiing due to weight/cg!!!
Skinny people should get a discount.
Skinny people should get a discount.
Bank fee portion: Move your bank.
Paying operators to stock the machine, maintain them etc isn't free
I was with you up until the paper bill charge.
If you don't want to pay the fee, get it emailed to you and print it off. Simple!
85 cents to ship it across Canada, wear and tear on the printer, employee wages. That 2 dollars totally makes sense.
Esona they don’t email it, you have to go online and download them, but many places only keep the statements on line for like 2 years.
this is one of my favorite shows!
Wow I live in the U.S. in Arizona. It costs me $2.50 to use the ATM and another $2.50 from my bank because I used a different banks ATM.
Ms. Delusional : Get a credit union account: No charge & you can use any other credit unions ATM and its free, completely FREE. Also NO monthly service charge PERIOD. Only 2 percentage point rates for cars loans : Used 4.75 New 4.25 Very LOW interest on credit cards discounts on many things 15% off of certain cell phone companies!!!
Or just go with a bank that has free ATMs in your area lol I got nothing against credit unions but they do the same thing as banks (for the average customer)
Y'all seem to be under the delusion that everybody has access to credit unions and banks with ATMs. I don't know where you live but good for you that you have choices.
@@daryaionesco2634 People do have those options, yes even you lol. Because there is at least one bank ATM near you lol. Also there is less and less a need for ATMs. Most of it can be done online so it's even easier for you to access.
Plenty of banks (in the US) have no ATM fees of their own and ATM fee reimbursement, at least up to a certain amount a month.
The fees TicketMaster/TicketTron can charge in the U.S.A. are even more costly, and more ridiculous. They have NO competition, and if you try to fight it, like Pearl Jam and others 20 or 25 years ago, you find out that you'll find very few even modestly sized arenas willing to work with you. Also, the "second hand" sellers like StubHub, etc., are almost ALL owned by, guess who? That's right, TicketMaster buys up a portion of high demand, high cost, concert and event tickets, including all those fees, and then they resell those same tickets, using the same system, same infrastructure, and in many cases many of the same people (often no people are even involved), but every customer will be paying lot's of money to each company, the SAME company.
Let's see. After reading a bunch of comments I have these suggestions. Get a presale account at your favourite venue for first pick concert tickets. I've never bought through Ticketmaster. Get quotes from different insurance brokers then play them against each other. I did the same with Rogers and Bell and got my services for about half of what you would usually pay. Not going to tell you which one I picked. I didn't pay their equipment or installation fees either. Just a cash grab so tell them if they want a long term customer to waive the fees. YOU are doing them the favour, not vice versa. If you have a set minimum you never have to pay ATM fees. Never get extended warranties. If their warranty on a product isn't good enough then go elsewhere. Oh yes. and put money in the bank each week like you're making payments and when you want to buy something you have the cash to do it. Realize how much interest fees you would save in a lifetime. Common sense isn't all that common.
Im ok with paper charges. Stop using paper and sign up to eletronic billing.
How is it difficult to change bank?its literally a few hours work!
That pigeon was a payed actor 😂😂👍
Wow, it's almost like having a monopoly on something is a _bad_ thing.
If you don't want to pay ATM fees switch to a credit union. I never pay ATM fees with my credit union.
me as well but this woman lives in such a dumb small place they probably don't even have any
i know a dumb charge that needs to be looked at Hydro one's Delivery charge and debt recovery charges
Funny about the airline story with the "will we be charged to use the restrooms on the plane"? An Irish airline does just that. They are one of the worse for extra charges for everything on and before your flight with them.
Add anything a bank charges. Charged to put money in, to use your account, to take money out, for not using your account etc...., it never ends.
I like how the interviewer is just throwing it all on the table no sugar coating filter, it's basically a roast at this point lol!
I can relate to the ticketmaster one lol
Lisa use the bank in your town or pay to use the atm in your town .
I live in the usa, I don't know of any bank that charges customers to use their own ATMs
There are far dumber fees than paper bill fees. I'd far rather get bills emailed than paper bills.
For some reason I thought it meant “ criminal charge “
I think 50 pence GBP/ 85 cents CAD is reasonable for paper charge!
The word "fee" is a legal term for "extortion"! I hate them, and I don't live in Canada, I live in the UK.
Income tax, sales tax, bank fees, carbon tax, and hospital parking
We drown in 1st world luxuries and complain about it.

Why can't that lady close her account and move it to the bank up this street. I have. I actually had serveral at one point
Screw Banks and screw Bell....I'm keeping my money elsewhere and never, ever will i go for Bell for any services.
1. Don't use ticketmaster then... No one forces you to use it.
2. You don't have to pay seat selection. I never have. Just chose seats within 24 hours.. If you don't choose and let computer assign you seats you will be seated together if you booked as one party. Secondly minors will always be seated with parents.
3. Use online banking, use your debit card. Why doesn't she just change banks?
The guy complaining about the airplane seating- stop booking it in such short notice. If you know you’re going on vaca then plan accordingly so you don’t have the fee. Stop waiting till the last minute. You’re choosing to pay that, and complain about it bc you wait till last minute.
"this is a effort to keep costs lower"
ok so lets understand. theyre charging you fees to keep the cost low.
some of you will have to read that dozens of times to understand how idiotic that is. but hey at least i made the effort.
goodnight sheeples
Lol paying money so you don't have to pay money.
People like you honestly disgust me. You don't deserve to be a citizen in this country. You are the sheep.
Changing banks is not a big deal like they make it seem......
lol nope and nowadays most banks have easy systems to transfer everything over.
I agree with the paper fee, it encourages people to not waste paper and delivery resources and fuel to deliver etc
I told TD Bank not to send paper statements when I signed up but they still send them anyways.
Some of these charges make sense, these companies could not make money without them.
Lol. Which ones?
+Charles Murphy ............ATM, it does cost money to get the ATM fill up with money, need to make it done by security service, so i agree, not happy ? Open an account with TD and use there machine !!
So if you keep your money in bank A but withdraw it from bank B, you shouldn't have to pay a fee? Why should bank B have to pay for the maintenance without a profit?
DUH, okay sheeple.
Banks actually have to pay a fee every time you use other ATM's, even the banks own ATM incurs a charge, every time you check balance and such there is a cost to the bank, this is the reason they are pushing so much on Mobile apps banking and online banking, because the costs of connecting to their servers and viewing balance and doing transactions is a fraction of the charges.
if they don't like paying the charges just don't go to the concert. remember guys actions speak louder than words if you don't give your money to them they won't make any money and by doing this they will lower the charges simple as 1 2 3
onkar phall tru

I'm not usually this violent in my thinking. But I think they should lop the head off that Banker association spokeswoman. To talk so forcefully about things that are so illogical, and are obviously just ways to nickel and dime customers, is abhorrent.
The dumbest charge of all is paying for a landline. Cancelled mine ten or fifteen years ago. Not only saved the $2.80 for touch tone, but also saved $24 a month in not paying the bill at all. Save $288/yr. for 10 years =$2880. That buys several nice cell phones.
Please send them back their junk mail . When they get itback on a daily basis I’m thinking things are going to change!!
They include a postage free envelope to do so. Include some nude pics of babes on the internet so they can feel self conscious while opening it.

I think less than $7 CAN/ £4 GBP is reasonable for a seat selection!
Umad?
Ciaran 100 and you shouldn't being charged anything!
Last time I booked a flight on Porter they were charging $23 to select your seat in advance
Ciaran 100 that’s a lot cheaper than US carriers, and they don’t open up 24 hours prior to departure.
You can avoid atm fees just get cash back at the grocery store.
And the corporate response is gonna be they're keeping costs down for the average Canadian.
I call Bull! It's like they are blackmailing us with that remark. Either pay these fees, or we'll have to bill you more.
What a crock!
The banks charges are normal, although the ATM charge seems to be to high, if it really gets to 7$...
Banks share network, to maintain those networks it costs, and it costs a lot, which people don't realize... You have to pay for expensive servers and equipment(routers and everything), those servers consume a lot of electricity, they need to be maintained, they need a proper(expensive) facility to stay in. The software for this needs to be maintained and developed, that's people that need to be payed: Software Developers, Software Engineers, Security Researchers, Network Administrators, Testers, and the list goes on and on...
Lilian Yep but then they leave the ATMs running Windows XP so....
I've never been charged an ATM fee when I use my own bank. They charge a fee at other bank's ATMs because you are using THEIR money and your bank has to pay them back, so they charge you.
No fees at any bank in the UK
West Talks We have less fees than them. We don't pay tips. We don't pay extra for everything. And we don't pay for using any bank. Tbh I love Britain!
RULE BRITANNIA
You have to pay tips for everything, for food,for hotels, and even for using banks
GREAT show! We would NEVER see a Show *like this* in the U.S.!
How to avoid ATM fees...every time you go to a large grocery store or department store, get cash back on debit. They don't charge anything extra. Also, you can change your bank account to allow a certain amount of ATM withdrawals for free, even if it's a different bank.
