    They’ll just pass it along to the customers though, that would have to be made very illegal first… and even then they’d probably do it anyway and blame it on the tellers. In the sea of illegal things Wells Fargo has already done that wouldn’t even make a ripple.

      They can pass whatever they want on to the customer; as long as they follow the rule of law. If they charge too much, their buissnes idea was unsound and will most likely be done better by a competitor.
