<prompt> Human: I dont typically make a habit of over-drafting my bank account. My wife and I have been really low on cash this pay period because I had a huge unexpected expense when our cat got sick, needed to be hospitalized, and died at the vet last week. The vet bill was around 800inb4 keep moar money in your account lol.I had approximately 50 left in my account this Monday, spent about 40 on groceries to last us to payday this Friday. On my way home from work yesterday, I stopped for gas and used a no-fee ATM to check my account just to see how much gas I could afford. The balance was 11 and some change, so I paid 11 for gas, knowing we had no other pending payments.My wife checked our account today and its now like two dollars in the negative because there is an ATM fee. Im not entirely sure whether its the ATM or the bank charging the fee. Either way, were going to be stuck with a 36 overdraft fee for either false advertising or the bank being shady and charging to check my balanceCan banks seriously charge you for checking your balance? I didnt make a withdrawal, just checked the account balance. The weird thing is this fee shows up twice when I only used the ATM once. Is there anything I can do about this?  <response>: Also remember that there are two different ATM Fees. One for the ATM you withdraw from whatever that company is and the fee YOUR bank charges to use an ATM whatever that company is.Honestly, it is such a small amount banks dont really care about it. I would just go into the bank in person and explain your situation and see if they will waive the fee.
