Picture Summary:http://oi54.tinypic.com/vx1amv.jpg


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.


If it was a purchase from a dealer it's surprising that the dealer would
not have the ability to do Check 21 processing on personal checks.


We wrote a personal check to the dealer (Saturday) and asked them to
hold it until Tuesday. We had to take some of the cash from a second
back (higher rate) and put it in our main bank where our checking
account is.
