Nextel=Not American
Went by the bank to get cash, went to the nextel store to pay my bill with that cash. Got told it would be $10 charge to pay with cash... WTF is wrong with them charging to pay with cash..?

this charge is their way of convencing everyone to pay with computer which will eventually save nextel money by firing the employees who they once had to hire to collect the payments. computers are great and all but they are also putting tons of people outa work. eventually banks wont even have tellers. just loan officers IMO.

hey bro That has been said since the birth of computers.... but you know... yes certain jobs may end because of computers..... but others open maintaining said computers...
god bless america for dusty working enviroments.... 
They will always need people at banks, because a study i read showed that computers cannot replace people because over 60% of people didnt even like dealing with the machines, they like people because they like the connection... they like knowing that if they have a complaint the entity on the other side of the 3" bulletproof glass will understand... where as if you yell ata computer... it will just sit there and blink at you...
trust me if a computer would do stuff by yelling at it, my computer would be a full time employee..... (drawing in cad and 3d modeling programs makes me angry)

I'm still cursing them... Had to bite the bullet and pay the bill. Via debit card errr.... Paying with cash can lead to theft from employees, founterfit bills, stuff like that. It just sucks b/c my phone was turned off, "oops!" and I can't find out how the g/f's mom is doing while in the hospital... Either way, still a bunch of crap!
