Just another attempt by the banks to get cash out of people's hands. They try to make it as difficult as possible for you to get YOUR money out of THEIR bank. I would be interested to know, if there is a difference in when the cash shows up in your account whether you use the same bank as your employer or a different one. One job I worked offered direct deposit, but then I wouldn't have my money until Tuesday, instead of Friday. What fucking good is a pocket full of cash on a Tuesday? I never heard anyone say, "There's aint nuthin like being a nigger on TUESDAY night!"

And they are charging the shit out of you to do it. I am paying $18 a month for a checking account that has 2checks, 2-3 deposits and maybe 5 other transactions a month. If I had my shit together, I'd just go all money orders and the occasional $100 Visa gift card.

Back on track, they been paying you cash or check? You could just go to the bank and empty the card once a week. There is nothing like a minimum balance you have to keep on it or a withdrawal limit is there?
