maybe we are the test case.. oh.. dunno if that happens here.in nz we are a test case for a lot of things. we are a good pop size (not too big not too small re advertising) and fairly representative of the US / canada / british / aussie market.
so...
apparantly we got EFTPOS first :-)
and they encouraged us to use it...i had an account with no fees...
(60c on other bank atm and tellar transactions $2)
$1,000 interest free overdraft for 3 years.
cheque book if i wanted it...over here...
stuff all atm's. really. not happy.
$3 other bank atm and tellar transactions.
$3 monthly charge
free EFTPOS withdrawals - so i'm thinking sweet - that's me...only to find...
who the hell has EFTPOS? stuff all places thats who.
then not only that but $10 purchase minimum and most don't like to give out cash.not used to this...
bizzare.
so anyway.. maybe we are the test case for gormet dorrito's?
on a slightly different note.. Fontera (I think it is called) is one of the big companies in NZ... Dairy... Apparantly they aren't so keen on cheese in asia / eastern countries. don't like the taste. so what do you know... chocolate flavoured cheese. yeech. we won't touch the stuff... but apparantly the kids over there love it :-)
dairy... induces disgust in some cultures. interesting. if i think about it too much... i do believe i can take their point...
