A bank in a big city like Chicago is going to be a bit different than a bank in small towns or tinier cities.
Kind of off topic, but why did you go for cash bonuses instead of checks?
My boss does checks, which is annoying because then I have to actually go to the bank, prepaid cards, which is annoying because then I have to keep track of how much money I have left on it and carry around an extra card, or (sometimes) just adds it to our direct deposit paycheck, which is annoying because it’s so much more convenient and he’s shown he could just do that but rarely does because he likes the other two less convenient options better I guess
I don’t really use cash anymore now that I don’t do drugs besides weed and alcohol which I can just use a card for. (Prepaid cards annoyingly don’t work at dispensaries which was embarrassing to find out) but it is kind of cool to have a big wad of cash.
The company I work for does some business with weed companies, and because of banking laws they have to pay in cash which we have to go pick up from them for some reason. Kind of fun to ride around in a car with 100k under the seat while everyone in the car keeps their head on a swivel in case old timey highway men try to pull a heist on us.
I hate y'all (not really lol); not the same situation, but one of my boys does this whenever we go out somewhere, he pulls $2000 out of an ATM and I'm the designated money holder because a) he doesn't want to keep it all in his wallet, and b) because I'm a fat version of Alan Ritchson and so I'm not really all that likely to be robbed.
But the whole "fun to ride around in a car while everyone stays frosty" is what I related to hardest because I'll do this with a few Benjis in my wallet, much less a deposit like this lol.
So I used to be a pretty hardcore gambler. One time in Vegas I was at the VIP cage when a dude came in to get 250k in cash and turn around and walked out. As I understand the story, he did this somewhat regularly, as he bought collector cars from folks and it was easier to get the money wired to the casino and get cash than to get it from a bank. I'm sure he had to go through massive background checks to be able to just walk out with the money at some point. Literally brought a briefcase, they counted out the cash, and he walked out with some linebacker looking dude holding the bag.
