(laugh) Well, the thing is, it's a big country and every state
has their own banking rules, and regionally there are probably
what's the word I'm looking for grrr ... traditions, for lack of
the right word.

In my state, the banks had to offer no frills, free, no minimum
etc etc to low income people so they could cash their paycheck.
Over 5 checks a month, there is a small fee. That's all I could
think of that might have a per check fee.

But I don't know what it's like where Sheldon lives so I am not
disputing his statement. Just that it's not an American thing.
