Two of my uncles and a dear old cousin were bankers, and I have no animosity whatever toward that breed. I am, in fact, occasionally amused and entertained by the twists and turns I observe in the way they do their business.
It's a business that does not lightly let a loose dollar or a spare dime slip by.
Like today. I got a message from Wells Fargo of a very modest gain in an unused account -- monthly accrued interest of 76 cents. At the same time the bank levied on me what it calls a "monthly check return/image stmt. fee" of $2.
So I'm out $1.24. But entertained.
