For years, since long before I started P4P, I go to the bank 1 to 5 times a month and pull out cash, from a teller, in mostly hundreds and some fifty's in the four figures range. I have my cards for emergencies, but I just prefer to use cash, I'm just that guy.
Anyways, I have never once got a sideways look or a vibe from a teller. When it comes to money, they're like doctors, they've seen it all and just don't care. They know there's plenty of people like me who just use cash, or they think you're buying an old car, but mostly, like I said, they don't care.
Seriously, what are you talking about with "draw attention to himself at the bank"?! Do you honestly think the teller is thinking "that guy wanted two grand in cash, I bet he's on his way to an escort. I'm calling the cops as soon as he's out the door." Paranoid much? LOL!
Tellers don't think anything about it, and if they did, why do you care?
