Banks preparing to charge for debit card usage

Some banks starting to charge customers to use debit cards | PennLive.com

I suppose I'm one of the relatively lucky ones in that I don't have fees charged to my checking account (yet, mainly because I live within my means), but if this happens to me I'm just going to switch to a credit union.

It's like they say, once you stop a leak another one springs up elsewhere. The only thing interesting about this from my perspective is wondering if this will end up pissing enough consumers off that it cuts into the banks' bottom line. Doubtful imo, but you never know.
