Apparently, I've been doing my job all wrong the entire time! Go figure.
SC: I want to cash this check.
Me: May I see it?
SC: It's just a regular check... It's only for $120,000.
Me: ...?! I'm sorry? There's no way I can cash this check.
SC: Well, why not?
Me: For one, you need the amount in your account to cover it. I don't think that $200 dollars is going to do the job. And two, we don't even carry that much in the bank.
SC: Don't give me that! I know you have it in the vault!
Me: No, actually, we don't. For our security we don't carry nearly that much.
SC: You're lying!
Me: No, I'm really not. I can deposit it and it will be available to you in the next 5 to 7 business days.
SC: But I got bills to pay.
Me: I understand, but unfortunately I can't make it available.
SC: Well, just call *Rival Bank* and get the money from them!
Me: No, I can't do that.
SC: Oh, you're lying again! I know how these banks work, you guys take the checks and get the money, and then bring it back. It's common sense!
Me: Oh, is it?
SC: Don't lie to me on how you do your job! I know that's what you do!
Me: No, it isn't. I can deposit it and it will be available in the time frame I specified.
SC: Fine, whatever, but let me tell you, this is a huge inconvenience!
Me: I apologize.
And of course, as she was leaving she had some choice words she mumbled.
I guess I should have been driving checks back and forth for the past 6 years... I just learned a new way to do my job.... Morons.
