Why would franchisees of a major fast food franchise use debit cards-with fees, instead of checks, to pay their employees? Why do Albert and Carol Mueller, franchisees of this chain, insist on paying their hourly employees with a debit card?

And, the debit card they’re using? It’s special. It (allegedly) comes with several built-in fees…built-in profit centers if you ask me, for the bank that issued the debit card, the franchisees, or both.

Now, profit isn’t a dirty word; every business should make money. But, not like this.

When did paychecks suddenly become obsolete?
