This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

I'm with your mate on the cash machines
I will not use any cash machine that charges me for the privilege of getting at my own money. My bank makes enough income from the money I have in my account (and pays fuck-all interest in comparison) to subsidise the cost of providing a hole in the wall. £1.25 per withdrawal? I'd have to withdraw more than my daily limit for the percentage to drop to a reasonable level. Ain't gonna happen.

Those thieving scrotes who think it's okay to have a cash machine which charges for its services need a kick in the 'nads, and hard. If no-one used the fucking things, they'd soon disappear.

the way it works is
when its a cash machine in a shop then the shop will get charged a fee for having the machine in place, thus they need to get this back by charging the customer, that way the banks never lose.

I know how it works
And I refuse to play along. Eventually there will be no branches, and the only way of getting cash will be from machines which charge usurious percentages as fees. So I do my tiny (and ineffectual) bit to delay the inevitable by not using them.
