This is my first draft of my scathing letter to the bank. What is it with corporate entities that take your money, make money off of you, and give you little or nothing in return? Anyone got any suggestions for what I should add to my letter. If you want, we can make it a petition. You can feel free to copy it and send it to your bank as well, I don't mind.

What more to a cheque number is there than transit/institution number and account number?
I've found that employers want a void cheque because they don't trust your ability to write down the appropriate numbers from you bank statement. They probably could do very well without the cheque, though the "front line" handling your information probably hasn't received the memo stating that it's ok to think outside the box and take the protocol written in the secretary's handbook to easy street in the nine to five as a suggestion.
I think you should write a letter to your human resources manager. Are they forcing you to use and pay for the services of a bank? What a concept, forcing your employees to pay your corporate buddies so that your hard earned pay will actually arrive, minus of course the portion taken in fees by the bank. Brilliant.
Now I think we should sell our souls and start a bank. Any bids on mine? I'm looking for the quickest buck, any bids?
Yes, I certainly am being forced to pay for the services of a bank. Actually, we all are. At least those who receive money in exchange for our own personal commodity - time. Is it even possible to get paid by a cheque these days, and if one were to get paid by a cheque, could you go and cash it without a bank account?
I might as well be colour blind.
Consider my soul sold, what do we need to start this thing ...shareholders?
I got something for y'all:

Free banking. Free. And you never have to set foot in another bank.
Oh great, you blew my cover! You named the unnamed bank where I had directed this complaint. Now, I'm going to probably get sued, and I'll be in the po' house for the rest of my working days. shit.
Nothing's free Rob. Nothing.
I'm thinking membership in our bank should consist of a good solid handshake, knuckle punch, and then for "fees" just share food and basic chores.
