Looks like we need to go ahead and get our concealed carry permits so
we can carry more cash.

We walked into a bank earlier this week to get a cashiers check for
$10K for a car purchase. The account we were removing the money from
was NOT small.

They wanted $10 to process a cashier's check.

We tied up two of their people for about 15-20 minutes dragging cash
out of the vault, counting it out to one-another and then to us. I
suspect that cost more than processing the check. I would have been
uncomfortable carrying that much cash but we were depositing it in
another bank 20 minutes away.

I had a similar experience with Regions day before yesterday. Withdrew
$25,000 from MM account and requested cash. Had to argue with rep as
he insisted on cashier's check. Tried to tell me they didn't have that
much cash. Got the cash and due to attitude, withdrew remaining
balance yesterday and closed account. Opened accounts with Credit
Union.

Now try taking $25K in cash out of the CU. Most banks don't have all that
much money sitting around. That kind of withdrawal, without notice, can
really put a crimp in the rest of their week.
