Morrisons shoppers say 'write to your MP' as supermarket introduces new fee
Morrisons customers in Stakeford are upset over a new fee for cash withdrawals from ATMs at their local convenience store.
Morrisons shoppers in Stakeford have expressed their frustration over the introduction of a new charge to withdraw cash from ATMs at their local Morrisons Daily convenience store. Many have taken to social media, particularly local Facebook pages, to voice their complaints and call for action. They feel that being charged to access their own money is unjust, especially since the ATM is operated by an external provider and the store itself does not set the fees.
Customers criticizing this new fee believe it unfairly impacts those who rely on cash transactions and may not have easy access to fee-free ATMs elsewhere. In their posts, they have encouraged one another to 'write to your MP' in an effort to galvanize support against this charge, demonstrating a collective sense of community action. The charge is reportedly part of a trial being conducted in selected Morrisons Daily stores, which has further fueled the outrage among local shoppers who feel neglected by both the supermarket chain and the service provider.
This situation raises broader questions about the accessibility of cash in local areas and the reliance on ATMs that impose withdrawal fees. As communities continue to adapt to changes in banking and retail, the introduction of fees at essential service points can often provoke strong reactions. The debate surrounding the introduction of user fees for cash withdrawals reflects a growing concern over the equitable access to financial services, particularly in areas where consumers may feel trapped with limited options.
