Aren't you robbed $1.00 every time you take your money out ATM. That is what a lot of consumer groups are fighting. Besides, if you don't like a bank that charges such fees, you can go to another bank. Aren't you charged $10.00 for remitting your credit card charges one day late. Yes, why not? Once you are late, you pay the penalty for being late! Aren't you robbed of your 25C in the phone booth For comparison, even in India, calls from payphones cost a buck or two. Assuming that the damn things work, that is. if you are so particular, why do you pay 15 -20% tip on your food bill? Because the people who work in restaurants can be paid 1/2 the minimum wage. The Indians are not getting rich from their gratuities... Yeah, right. The typical electricity board engineer or clerk would have amassed wealth that is hundreds of times their known sources of income. And you say they are not getting richer! You give a good insight into why India is getting more and more corrupt with each passing year -- because the people find all sorts of "explanations" to keep it going.
