Why do people expect services free of charge?
Why do people in the UK expect to pay nothing for the services provided by Banks? They expect to write cheques for free, use cash machines in locations convenient for them for free, have direct debits and standing orders for free, have a statement printed and posted to them every month for free, have a branch that they can pop into whenever they want for free, have a debit card for free?
Most of them think the Bank makes money out of there few hundred pound they pay in and take out each week . Are they retards or what?

The banks in the UK make obcene profits from the average consumer through charges, interest rates and fees.
As a consumer I make a point of making my banks life a misery out of sheer principle, and I expect nothing but the highest of respect in return.
Finding it hard to believe banks are running at a loss all the time. What about the people and businesses who do put more than a few hundred pounds in. What about the high bank charges for going slightly overdrawn, having a mortgage or loan.
Also people expect these things for free as if a bank started charging for them there would be another bank who wouldn't so people would talk with their feet and and change accounts, and the banks will do what ever they can to grab hold of every last penny possible
they like to transact at the banks' cost.lol that mean, they like cheap banks, show them the cheap banks.
