A side-example is this: Currently, if you go get cash back at the grocery store, you do not have to pay fees that you might have to pay at a foreign bank's ATM. Everybody knows this, but in a way you have found another legal way to 'beat the system.' And who here wants to blow THAT whistle!?!?!?

Have I got the world's worst debit card? When I get cash back from the grocery store I get charged a fee, just as if I were using a foreign ATM.

No fee for cash back on checks, so logically there shouldn't be any for a debit card.

But what's logic got to do with it?

And back to the topic, yes I do think it's unethical. What we appear to be saying is it's not too unethical, so don't lose a lot of sleep over it.
