The cost of convenience.




Call me cheap or just not with the times, but since when did fast food value meals come to cost more than $7.00? I went to Carl's Jr. today for lunch and had a crispy bacon swiss chicken combo with a small fry and small drink. It cost a total of $6.48 + $.75 ATM surcharge. The final total was $7.23!!! I was in a hurry and the food was good and all, but that's a little much, right??? The ATM service charges are totally killing me. They do that at some gas stations here in LA too. I think the cheapest I saw for regular gas this week was like $1.49. The surcharges there are generally $.45. Wow.

Always say CREDIT, they don't charge if you use your Debit card as a CREDIT card. The inconvenience? U just have to sign the credit slip - a voila, no 75 cent charge.
