AMY ROBACH: It is an outrage! Three dollars, to take out twenty or forty bucks?
Co-anchor Lester Holt sympathized.
LESTER HOLT: And I get it, it's for non-customers. But for example, here in New York I use my home bank ATMs, but you travel, and you go to some place, and you have to use another bank. Three dollars seems a little excessive to get your money.
Great points, Amy and Lester. An outrage! Excessive! Why doesn't Hillary propose some kind of government commission to set a "fair" price?
But why stop with ATM fees? Amy, on next week's show, why not catalogue all your expenses from the past year? If a $3 ATM fee is an outrage, why, $299 for a pair of shoes or 600 clams for a meal for four at some frou-frou French restaurant sound like nothing short of felonies to me!
