And then there are banks that refuse to cough up cash.  I was starting
a new account at an S&L, and needed to use cash in order to write a
check within the next week.  (Their policy is to hold even cashier's
checks from a bank for 5 days before allowing one to write checks on
it.)  So I got a check for several thousand bucks from my credit union
and went to the bank it was drawn on.  They wouldn't give me cash for
the whole thing!  They gave me a few thousand in cash that I could
hand carry, and the rest in a cashier's check ... and they charged
me $2.50 for the cashier's check!  Fooey!  And the teller sneered and
said that the S&L could just call them to verify that a cashier's check
for the whole amount was good so that I could use it immediately (not
true - I checked again at the S&L).  Fooey!

Maybe this should have gone to net.flame.
