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


No need to carry cash. ;-)


Yes, it does make a lot more sense to say buy a donut using a credit or
debit card to help the banks out.


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.


I'm sure the dealer was happy. ;-)


Or it was a win-win. You can get better prices if you make cash part of
the negotiation because the dealer knows the tribute they will need to
pay to the bank.

Not everyone loves banks.


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.


It takes that long to count 100 Franklins?
