Yeah, I wanted to pay a contractor in cash. The amount was under $1,000. The bank would not allow me to take that much out without calling them a day or two in advance.
(I did later find out that same branch had been robbed earlier that month)

I had no trouble last year walking in to my bank and getting $7,000 in cash to buy a car. They didn't have it in the drawer at the counter, but it took them just a few minutes to go the the back room/vault and get it.
and your relationship with that bank
you shouldn’t have to be limited to a payment/custody system where you think about it but that’s how it is
always fix your banking rails before you need them
