yeah right, I don't care the size of any corporation, company, firm, etc, they can all still treat you like an individual if they want to.
You bring up another good point about CUs though, you can withdraw money from ANY CU ATM and not be charged a service fee for it.
I have nothing against banks, my brother always tries to get me to bank at his bank (he's the assistant branch manager at Zions in South Jordan) but I refuse to pay for services I can get for free, not to mention pay higher rates.
Some banks are getting on board the No ATM fee bandwagon . . . but not all.
Don't get me wrong: there are lots of things that banks do which I consider to be vile. I agree with the sentiment that banks don't seem to care about individuals as much as they used to.
I remember when going to the bank with my grandpa was the highlight of my week. Now, it's pure drudgery.
That being said, at least the banks are contributing their fair share of the tax burden.
I do wish that more corporations would remember that it's as, if not more, important to take care of people who are giving you money, than it is to get their money.
The principle of Karma is something I fully agree with, and it makes me sick to see how many lose sight of their humanity in the chase for the almighty dollar.
And I understand that CU's are more "human" than most banks are . . .
BUT that still doesn't allow these pseudo-bank CU's to escape the fact that they are banks marauding as CU's just so that they don't have to pay taxes.
Wrong is wrong, even if both parties involved have "unclean hands."
And anyone who disagrees with me is a "smelly head"
