I'm curious, did you get the numbers? I roll my eyes at Example #1's claim that she's "too good" for any honest job (though, in all fairness, retail does absolutely suck and I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns.) But how rational and/or ethical her choice is depends on a lot of factors--has she got any kids, what retail jobs are actually available to her, how much do they pay, how many hours and how reliable a schedule, what's the cost of living in her area, what assistance would she still qualify for if she WAS working, and how much better (or worse) would she make out on just welfare?

And whether the bank charge in Example #2 is exploitative or not really depends on the amount of the check and the percentage they charged. If she paid two or three bucks on a few hundred dollars, that's a slightly different matter than paying five bucks on fifty, for example.

In all honestly, exploitative or not, I think a lot of the fees banks charge are highway robbery. Credit unions FTW.
