Sounds like you are a salaried, exempt employee. In most states that means you can be required to work more than 40 hours without being paid OT. When I was managing a retail store, we were required to work at least 50 hrs a week, and every shift (other than overnight) at least once a month.

“The school hasn’t said what, if any, disciplinary action has been taken as it would violate privacy laws.”

It’s a double-edged sword.

Your first point is a pretty risky proposition, as there are very sound reasons why an auto response is limited to once per recipient per day. Once you are finished mitigating all of the potential issues, you will have re-invented the standard out of office auto responder.

If you read their comment, you’d see that they drink $15 a month in bad folgers drip coffee, so it’d be worth the $5 premium to upgrade the quality.

Many years ago, you could buy a sippy-cup like mug from McD. for like $2.99. Then coffee was free for as many refills as you wanted. They will still honor these cups, if you still can find one at a flea market of garage sale.

“Panera’s New $9/Month Coffee Subscription Is Actually a Good Deal”

Dunkin is king, fight me.

It’s a good deal and also seems like a solid business move.  The marginal cost of a cup of coffee is peanuts and getting people in the door for coffee is definitely going to translate to them grabbing stuff to eat.  

That’s not what it says. It says the average balance when it is withdrawn from venmo is $287. It says nothing about what the average balance is.

Thanks! Didn’t realize it was free.

Again, the average is calculated by the number of tickets actually sold, not by polling movie theaters across the country and asking how much they charge. The movie theaters that only serve a population of 200 people are absolutely counted, but they only get credit for the 200 tickets they’re selling. They’re not…

the average movie ticket is under $10 but thats not what most people pay.

Nah... The average movie ticket price in the US is still under $10. So unless you think that every city that’s not New York, LA, or Chicago is a “backwater,” that’s not accurate.

What? I guarantee every one of those payment apps is earning money on your balance just like any other bank.

I know it might be overkill with the other canned fish on the list, but I have never gone a day in my adult life without having some canned tuna in my pantry. Tuna salad is quick, easy, and delicious, and a tuna melt is maybe my favorite food on earth. Irreplaceable canned item. 

If people are in the balance range of overdrafting and would rather afford it, be sure to contact customer support and get overdraft protection disabled! All banks are required to allow you to disable it by law, so don’t let yourself pay that crappy fee (unless you like taking horrible, predatory loans from your bank).

I feel it’s important to note one thing: the average person does not pay $7.69/mo in bank fees. The average person pays nothing in bank fees because, according to this same survey, 73 percent of people don’t pay any bank fees.

I had the same thought. Typically they run about $35. So one person with an overdraft and four people with no fees at all, the average is $7. So it skews the average so much that it’s hard to suss out maintenance and ATM fee averages.

It would be interesting to hear what the fee average drops to if overdraft fees are removed.
