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.

If a business wants a bare negotiable or cash why would they want to
deal with personal checks?

Because they don't want to lose a sale?

Making a sale isn't the issue it is making money while making a sale. So
a merchant may say "I may loose some sales but I won't be paying my
attorney to go to the magistrate to try to collect on bad checks"

Read the thread again. The question was why a business who wants cash would
want to deal with personal checks.

OTOH, they may want to pass on the sale because of the risk. Choice is a
great thing, no?
