Could you imagine if he lost?

I think his plan was to just live at home with his parents if he lost. He was young... like 30, so I guess he had a job where he could afford to start buying some things and saving for a place to live had he of lost.

I was thinking the exact same thing reading this thread.

Geez you guys get crappy deals up there. Like ALL the banks around here (and that's a lot of banks) give you free everything. And with Wawas around, ATMs are pretty much free of charge cos there's always a Wawa nearby.

The only time I got charged for anything at a bank was when my savings account dropped below $100 (which was the minimum amount for that specific type of savings account). My checking dropped to a few cents and that didn't matter.

Wawa?

Also, most accounts here have a minimum balance to waive the service fee. :nod:

Wawa = convenience store in New Jersey/Pennsylvania/other nearby states cos they're spreading out... all Wawas have free ATMs.

http://www.wawa.com

It also happens to be the greatest convenience store chain in the world. :mrgreen:

I've been to Wawa, Ontario.

There's a giant goose there and some bathrooms but not much else.

That's kinda funny... cos Wawa's logo has a goose in it:

... and I just learned something new that probably explains all of that... :lol:
