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.


Wwwwwooooooosssssh!!


You are easily confused aren't you?


No, but they must call you "Shorty". It *still* hasn't sunk in.

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.


Cash handling isn't free either.


Of course not but you are just parroting the FUD used by banks. If you
ever get a chance to see actual merchant costs you would be quite
surprised. Even common sense and simple observation will give you a good
idea.


FUD? No, I'm tall enough to see a tree in the forest. ...and ,no, I wouldn't
be surprised, Shorty. You shouldn't speak of which you haven't a clue. IOW,
be mute.

Not everyone loves banks.


Not everyone loves lawyers or dentists either.


Sure, but I am confident lawyyers and dentists weren't part of the team
that tanked the economy.


I didn't think they made people that short. ...and stupid.

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?
