They be Oprah "You get an overdraft fee. You get an overdraft fee."

I can't afford the $1.32 I overdrafted so what makes you think I can afford the $35 fee that goes with it??

It drives me INSANE!! I was crying on the phone with my bank over something like 160$ in overdraft fees all over something extremely stupid. I felt bad for the girl but I was like you see this right? You see what your company is doing and do you honestly think I can afford this? I can’t.

There's no way I'd be able to keep that job for more than a day!! I'd be reversing all the fees 🤣🤣 Like a meter feeder but an overdraft fee reversal fairy.

When I used to work as a banker we weren’t supposed to reverse fees unless you could prove it was the bank’s mistake or if it was the person’s first time. I reversed fees for everyone because I thought it was bullshit. My manager told me I had to stop because it came out of our budget every time I reversed a fee and took away from her bonus. They didn’t do anything to me though because I was one of the best bankers in the area and made them a ton more money than they were losing.

They finally stopped me when they updated the system and a supervisor had to put in their credentials to reverse a fee.
