1% of a $20 souvenir T shirt is only 20 cents, as opposed to holding up a queue, having a scribbled signature questioned, being asked for ID, etc.
I applied for the MC online without specifically opening any other accounts. They opened a savings account for me during that process. While in the branch today, I opened a checking account. I was able to set the MC PIN at the ATM, and set the PIN on the debit card they issued for me onsite for the new checking account.

Just to make it easier to remember!
