I thought my bank account was stolen but turns out it just didn't like me and ran away. Last I heard it found a good home with some rich family that feeds it way better than I did. It's for the best but I sure do miss it

I did. I called them and they said that it would be 5-7 business days before my 2.60 was returned due to baking holidays. So I'm not going to be able to buy a mcgriddle till next year

I'm getting it back in increments of .03 via check

I had an old rear end Paypal account got hacked. Like, so old that when I got it, you did not need a credit card and I was 14. They took 3 withdrawals of about $600 and I didn't notice until I went to buy something because I'd stopped using the hotmail address associated with the account years ago.

I contacted paypal and they already knew it was fraud and said that there was a 4th payment pending so tell my bank not to authorize it.

I did exactly that and instead of not authorizing the obvious fraud like I told them to, my bank transferred money from my wife's account to pay it. When I confronted them, they said they did me a favour by avoiding overdraft charges.

Anyway, paypal refunded all my money immediatly, but my loving bank took over 2 weeks to actually give me my money back because the money had to be "investigated for fraud first" or some poo poo.

Point is, banks are MUCH faster to take your money than to ever give it to you even when it's yours.

They stole my ability to buy a mcgriddle this morning.

I was saving the other 1.09 for an Arizona tea
I used to visit Michigan, and they didn't have a sales tax, so Arizona tea cost exactly 99 cents. It was legitimately the best part of no sales taxes. You just handed them a single dollar bill, and they gave you your tea, and a penny for the penny jar.

McDonald’s only buys bodies for the chicken McGriddles once a year when the prices are low like they do with the McRib

.03 does not go into 2.60 evenly. So I guess you made it up.

It's not OP's fault the person who stole their money is bad at math.

Someone nickel and dimed my bank account once, OP.

It was the bank, charging me for having too little in an account at its prestigious institution.

So I switched it to the "I'm a Poor" account and they quit charging me, until they were bought out by another bank and the other bank changed the "I'm a Poor" account to require a minimum balance. By then I had enough to not be nickel and dimed for being too poor.




gently caress minimum balances, is what I'm saying.
