Rip-Off Of The Day: The $6.95 ATM Fee At M:2

Feb 13, 2009 12:55 PM

Last night was an expensive night (for those attending the Twestival@M:2).  Doesn't M:2 understand that the media crowd is BROKE.  I mean have you seen the headlines, if we're not out of jobs, we're getting paid PEANUTS!  Besides the $16 drinks and $4 coat check, just to get cash out at M:2's ATM to pay for the only cash affair cost me a whopping $6.95! SE-R-I-OUS-LY! (I took a screen shot for proof!)

Mansion, we know you're struggling too, but this is ridiculous! Fine, snare the unsuspecting late night clubbers in need of scratch and sobriety, but perhaps you could recalibrate it for us more sober folks trying to buy drinks at the cash-only bar upstairs?

No offense, but isn't this kind of obvious? I will walk several blocks to find any bank ATM before using one in a bar, club, restaurant, etc.

This is old news. ATMs strategically placed near (or in) bars to take advantage of drunk people. There was briefly one on Rivington Street that charged -$25.00- per transaction, but people caught on, I guess, and it went back to $2.50. There's no law limiting how much an ATM can charge, so...

No way, I'm with Rachelle. That is RIDIC and unheard of - even in NYC.

CK, it's not unheard of. They've been doing it since at least the early/mid-90s when they first started popping up in bars on a widespread basis. Ok, maybe the $6.95 is a bit steep, but I've regularly seen $4+ (plus the $2 you get hit with by your bank).

Just think of it as a Douchebag Tax...
