Hello,
Yes. They are. And it effects so few of their customers, they don’t care.
Because the sad but true fact is, they don’t want people with 0 balances in
their checking accounts or maxed out credit cards. And like I said earlier, if
you can’t manage to have $1 in your account, you have way bigger issues than
being able to update an app on your phone. So like you said "welcome to the
real world…”
For the record, is it good customer service? Of course not. But, when you buy
a premium product, you often have to deal with stuff like this. Like someone
mentioned earlier, if you can afford to buy a sports car, your probably not
worrying about the price of gas.
