Reply #10: Get your money out. Put it in a credit union. Most don't charge you fees at all.

As for the swipe fee, stores should simply add a fee for using your card just like most mom and pop gas stations, and even Arco (a part of BP). I don't personally shop at Arco any more because of the oil spill, but when I did, they simply told you that they were going to charge you an additional 45 cents. If you don't like it, pay cash.
