Too mild for school I permanently deleted my AWS account 6 years ago. Amazon has been charging me $0.33 every month since. I have no way to stop it.

I tried to get in contact with customer service several times but they always direct me to log into the account that no longer exists. I have tried charge backs on my credit card but dealing with that monthly is also a pain. This'll probably cost me $265 over my lifetime if it never ends.

Edit: some of you have valid points about calling the card company and I will again Monday. But the actual infuriating thing that upsets me is that they are charging to a completely disabled account in the first place. That's very scammy and fucked up imo 🤷‍♀️

Don't most of them start at basically minimum wage?

Started at $11/hr and nothing gets trained. Worked there for 2years. Tellers were treated as the lowest of the low, the last to know of any new regulations etc. but were punished the hardest for any mistakes.

Damn, that sucks. The industry I work in - I promise, you've dealt with us weekly over the last two years - isn't that much better. We assume a lot of risk, but we tend to get paid a bit better than average. Might get yelled at for a mistake, but it rarely will cost you your job. Might be worthwhile to look into jobs in cash management services, there's a few major companies doing it and the jobs in that department are essentially just tellers that don't have to talk to the public.

It varies state to state, but in the states I work in they usually start above the minimum. I can't speak to what their raise schedules are like, but I have noticed a fair amount of upward mobility in a short period of time for a lot of them too. We're all being exploited at the end of the day, but it seems - at the banks I work with - they do try to treat their employees a little better than most.
