There are costs associated with operating an ATM and the feeswould be applied to said costs. I doubt the fees charged equal thecost, so chances are, any remaining amount is profit.I think the actual costs are more than offset by the savings the banksachieve from staff reductions. They must be recovering the costssomehow, because as long as I use a WF ATM I don't pay any fees.--Friends don't let friends shop at Best Buy.
