As if the cost for those few bills make a dent in a bank's operating costs.
The government invents money by the billions die these guys. The least they can do is provide some service.

I used swipe typing and I was a little bit off and didn't notice it. Oops. But I think it's pretty clear from the sentence what I intended.
Gov creates money not the banks. They do have operational costs.
And it is not one person who needs to accept checks, every branch has to support this.
I have not been to a bank for the last 10 years. They are obsolete. And those buildings are expensive and they have to be able to compete with online banks. It's not even an option for them to just keep those buildings.
PS I was just at my bank and I'm not even super old :)
Why I was at the bank? I had to cancel a credit card I never used, and had to show my latest ID.. Here in Europe banks are supposed to validate ID regularly now which is a real pain in the **. I don't get why either, it's not like I change identity very often :) It's just more distrust from the government I think.
No I didn't go there to withdraw money or to pay bills. Though it can still be done. In fact for some government transactions, like getting a new ID, it has to be done. You have to go to the bank with a government form, pay your 20 euros into the government account, and the bank stamps the form as proof that you did it. Then you take that to the police and they issue a new ID.
This is also in Spain by the way (like the article).
Yeah I hate this process too. But I like that old people can still do things the way they understand.
Very weird but unlucky you I guess :)
