"SAVE MONEY"



OR JUST GO TO THE FUCKING BANK AND DO IT FOR FREE

I also loved how the couple was white middle class, hahah.

or get a debit card and do cash back when you go buy other stuff anyway.

This targets low income people that due to their own irresponsibility, don't have easy access to a bank account. If they're used to paying 20 bucks to cash one, this would be a money saver.

im surprised there isnt a Bank of WalMart yet

9/6/2009 3:27:04 PM

I want to say they do have their own bank, now.

9/6/2009 3:29:18 PM

They do. See the Garner Supercenter.

9/6/2009 3:30:49 PM

They have banks in Walmart but not their own bank. They were trying to start one, I heard, but I think they were having a hard time getting the government to approve it.

9/6/2009 3:35:25 PM

^3 you are right!!!

the government did not want wally world to be a bank!

9/6/2009 4:19:39 PM

gol' durn gubment, keepin' waw-mawt from putting another sector out of business

9/6/2009 4:28:39 PM

You have to say though, the government probably wouldn't be bailing out the Bank of Wal-Mart

9/6/2009 5:19:04 PM

eh i'm sure the media could work up another frenzy to make everyone panic enough to cause some kind of chaos. they are good at that.

9/6/2009 5:22:36 PM

what was the first frenzy?

9/6/2009 8:11:14 PM

i admit to cashing a pay check at a food lion once

but i was in HS and it was a sunday and i really wanted to buy a guitar at mars, and the food lion would do it for 10% in sales

so nga bout a ton of fruit loops

9/6/2009 8:15:16 PM

^^i'd say the first frenzy was in 1913 and resulted in the inception of the illegal FED

9/6/2009 8:21:24 PM

another bailout frenzy? tarp wasn't a good idea?

9/6/2009 8:25:03 PM

well example a from RECENT history

what happened with wachovia. that was like largely media perpetuated.

9/6/2009 8:26:30 PM

oh i see. i like how wells fargo got them on the cheap

9/6/2009 8:33:38 PM

well yea but only after the government forced their board to vote to sell them to citi - an even worse off (perhaps THE worst off) institution

especially when wachovia was likely NOT going to fail anyway

it wasn't like a WaMu or anything. people just freaked out and wanted to pull their money out of the bank because they "heard" wachovia was on a "bad list" of banks.

9/6/2009 8:37:27 PM

i'm still bitter over wamu

when chase took over, they took away everything that was GOOD about wamu

9/6/2009 8:39:19 PM

i kinda thought the gov did that to find a real buyer. they knew if they made a deal and the other banks saw how cheap it was, SOMEONE would offer a better deal

9/6/2009 8:40:02 PM

^^ and they kicked a lot of the former WaMu customers to the curb.

^ wat?

9/6/2009 8:41:06 PM

how you don't get what i'm saying i do not know. i reread the sentence and it seems pretty clear

[Edited on September 6, 2009 at 9:05 PM. Reason : .]

9/6/2009 8:55:09 PM

probably as in "'wat' the fuck are you talking about?"

9/6/2009 8:56:13 PM

^ yes. lol.

9/6/2009 8:57:40 PM

nvm

[Edited on September 6, 2009 at 9:06 PM. Reason : apparently ^ and ^^ do not know what i'm talking about]

9/6/2009 8:57:53 PM

forced them to sell to citi? and then cause a lot of law suits?

i hope that wasn't what they had in mind

anyway my point to begin with was wachovia wasn't in danger - that was all fueled by the media

So do I. Because it would have been a pain in the ass to have to change banks AGAIN. I have my savings, checking and car loan all through Wells... Them buying Wachovia made it so easy when I moved back here. Can use my Wells ATM card and bank at any Wachovia... so nice!

One of my professor's at Davis was one of the heads of the team that researched the Wachovia deal. Pretty cool being in his class when it happened because he gave some awesome insight to the inner workings of the deal...
