I have the card now. I work for Steak’n Shake, and the card does charge me for spending my own money. I only use it when I need to eat on my breaks because it takes so long to transfer my money to my bank accout, I have to wait a few days for all of my money to go through and only leave like $50 on my Money Network card to last me the week, and the direct deposit takes so long. But I hate that I can’t spend my own money without losing more money. I have no idea who came up with this whole system but it sucks.

This is illegal. Employers are required to pay a person directly and not a third party. Most, if not all States, have laws about having to pay to receive pay.
