Dion:
"What goes on behind the scenes is labour. Someone has to pay for it."
And just operating a bank branch has no labour? Whether it's
delivered to a bank or an ATM, the cost structure will be similar,
given what your friend told you.
But to pay $1.50 to the ATM owner, and then $1.50 to my bank.
What did my bank have to do with the labour of that machine?
fotze:
- Cheese at Safeway, what a rip easily 40% than superstore.
You can go to Superstore then.
- Cords and cables at futureshop and big box electronics stores, you can get the same ones at memory express for a tenth of the price.
You can go to memory express then.
- Food at movies, $5.25 for a bucket of $0.10 popcorn, robbery, plus you are not allowed to bring in outside food, what if you are diabetic.
Exceptions will be allowed. Don't go to that theatre, find another,
or don't go at all. Wait for video rental, watch at home. I know people
with extreme peanut allergies that do this.
- Satellite TV. Me catching a signal that is being beamed past my house all the time anyway does not cost the company anything extra, it should be free.
Sure, you can take it. And it is legal. The illegal ones are the ones where
you have to unscramble the signal, and you do it without paying.
- Speeding, if I do not hurt anyone, it is not costing anyone anything, why should I pay a ticket.
A set of rules designed to keep the roads reasonably safe.
Not sure what this has to do with exhorbitant costs though?
Except maybe this city uses it as an additional tax?
- Quizno's, jeezus cripes, 9 dollars for a blah sub!
Don't go to Quizno's. Try your luck at Subway, or go to the aforementioned
grocery stores and pick up the stuff and make it to your liking at home.
Plus the number of other options to getting a sandwich made for you.
I know what you are trying to get at, however, it's the same as
trying to say, "If you don't like the gas prices at the pump, go to
another vendor." What other bank doesn't gouge (excluding ING
and PC Financial, which I use, just because they don't gouge)?
All of the examples you gave allow you to go somewhere else, banks
do not.
