These shitbirds never change.

In the mid-00's they had a policy where they would rearrange your debits for the day from largest to smallest. Let's say you had $50 in your account and the following expenses:

  • $25 fuel 9:00
  • $10 McDicks 12:00
  • $2 candy bar 15:00
  • $55 Groceries 17:30

Instead of denying the last purchase, or doing what the other shitheels do and charging $30 for the overdraft, Fifth-third (yes that's how you say that dumbass name) would rearrange the debits so that you now incur four overdraft fees.

It was bad enough that a class action suit was brought against them. My wife got a whole $90 payout after sending receipts for over $600 in accumulated spurious overdrafts. (As a side point, she's much better with money and bookkeeping now).

I want to be clear, I have no intention of taking ~~the law~~ justice into my own hands. That being said, if I had a mental break and decided to do a little light culling, the deciders for 5/3 would be near the top of the list
