I wish Rochester....

D avoids ATM charges by using the ‘cash back’ option when she make a debit card purchase. She can get up to (I think) $40 back on any transaction. No fees involved. It’s enough for walking around money.

What is really inconvenient is UR’s payroll dept’s refusal to direct deposit paychecks anywhere except to local banks. D offered them her bank’s routing number and her account number, but since it was not in Rochester, they wouldn’t do it. She has to mail her paper checks home to get them deposited. (Via me walking over to the bank.)

Weird since nearly everyplace prefers to do direct deposit.
