The free checking account that cost me $127 in overdraft fees

I switched my direct deposit from my credit union to a big brand bank for a $200 bonus and 0.2% more interest. Then I realized their clearing order processes the largest charge first, so my $4 coffee triggered three $35 fees in one afternoon. Why do banks brag about free checking but hide the way they sequence transactions?

Banks call it free, call it legalized pickpocketing instead.
