Massage Model

Is it ethical or even legal for ATMs in massage parlors and late night modeling spas to charge $5 or even $10?

I have paid hundreds of dollars in those fees over the years because they know you dont have another choice since banks are closed and other ATMs are far away. I think those fees are unreasonable and I am thinking to bring about a class action. I could have bought my wife a nice present or a bike for my kids if it wasnt for those outrageous fees... Do you think I might have a case?

2. No. They can charge anything they want. People don't have to use them. If you have a wife and kids, what are you doing in these places? I'm guessing you are simply posting a fake question to get people riled up. Get a life, dude!
3. Yes, the fees are legal. I have never seen an ATM that doesn't have its fee schedule displayed. Every ATM I have ever used has also required me to acknowledge that I understand and agree to pay any fee they charge. Your agreement with your bank will also set out any fees that they charge when you use a "foreign" ATM. If you don't like the fees, don't use the machines. And, you do have an option, go to your bank before you head to "parlor" or the "spa" and bring cash.
4. I would be interested in taking your case. It is indeed what we call 'extortion' and having a 'monopoly' on the late night gentleman... If anything, you should get a discount on ATM fees since you are keeping our economy going... -MMKH, JD
