I remember in the 80's and 90's when companies were all switching to computerized transactions, they'd market the idea that it would save them money and therefore the saving would be passed onto you. Now, years later, the saving are not passed onto you. In fact, they're charging you for the added "convenience" of using a system which saves them money.

Remember, ATMs save the bank money by not having to hire more tellers :moon:
