<p>[QUOTE="omahaorange, post: 2169486, member: 28199"]Just curious why you think that this doesn't cost the banks any money? This seems to be the prevailing theme in a lot of these type threads, and as far as I know, simply isn't true. For example, 10 minutes of my time costs my employer around $6.00. When I'm not doing anything productive (by that I mean engaging in an activity that makes my company money) that means they are losing money, not making it, and not even breaking even. Keep in mind too, that not only does it cost the bank to make the initial exchange, it also cost them when the rolls are returned after the "customer" has gone through them. Again, define "customer". How many roll searchers actually have accounts at these banks (both the pick-up and dump branches)? How many of those that do have just the minimum balance in those accounts? If it's your bank, which "customer will you more willing to cater to...the one with several large checking/savings accounts, mortgage, car loan, credit card, or the kid with a $25.00 savings account?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also keep in mind, that depending on the size and location of the bank, you're probably not the only one doing this.
