TIL a lot of American ATMs have withdrawal fees. Man is nothing free over there?

    Nothing is free really.

    The only withdrawal fees i've seen are at ATMs not provided by your bank or not in your bank's network.

    If I go into a convenience store, it's gonna be $2-$4 fee for the ATM. It's the only reason why they have ATMs.

    So do European ATMs? I assume it works the same way - if the ATM is "in network" it's free. Otherwise there's a charge.

    These days you can get checking accounts which refund ATM fees, but they are usually the higher end ones which have deposit minimums.

    In the UK the vast majority of ATMs don’t charge, no matter which bank you use. The only ones I’ve seen charge are ones in clubs/pubs where I imagine the thinking is if you need cash for a taxi and you are a captive audience. However I have never seen anyone use one of those.

    Mine also has one but mainly because most ATMs are from the "sparkassen" and the one i use has relativly rare "raiffeisen" ATMs        

    Its a bit like two systemsthat do the same

    Water's free, mostly. McDonald's started charging 25 cents for it, I have no idea why. Most cities and parks have free public restrooms. Gas stations and convenience stores also let you go in without buying anything, but only sometimes, so it hardly counts. Not the best maintained, but it is what it is. You get a free lawyer if you get charged with a crime, if the government's following the law (it doesn't do that a lot of the time, shhhhhh). The stuff that people leave by the curb is free, you can kinda just take it. I'm struggling to think of any more, I'm ngl. Sure there's a few others. I do think that water should be free for everyone, everywhere. Besides that, nothing too crazy, certainly nothing on the same level as healthcare.
