First a $40 fee just to swipe plastic is stupid, even VISA don’t charge anywhere near that much for the card machine operator. Sorry you have to deal with that.
Also does the US not have smartphone banking apps? Do you have to pay fees for a bank transfer? Is it the landlord setting those fees? I’m confused how a free at point of use system is getting slapped with a fee.
Why does everyone in the US have to write cheques to eachother, wasting everyone’s time going in person to the bank to cash them in? Even my employer just does a bank transfer to pay me my income.
Unfortunately most banks in my area don’t offer cheques on personal accounts anymore. You can still cash them, but my bank hasn’t offered cheque books on personal accounts in a good few years (and I think that’s the same case for other banks in my area, too)
When there’s a 40$ surcharge on all card payments, you do what you gotta to keep rent down.
It’s a part of why she’s so pissed about the rent thing too.
