This first blog won’t blow your socks off, but my early morning bank branch  visit sure tested both my patience and my temper  After years of paying “foreign transaction fees” on international spending, I was asked by the 26 year old assistant to the assistant branch manager, “why don’t you have the special travel rewards credit card that omits all such charges on purchases made overseas ?”  And I’m also busy paying those fees on my son’s current foray outside the USA with his credit card.  From a twenty year customer to my wonderful bank,  WHAT THE HECK ?
