Most bank plans have published hard limits for        withdrawals.              I haven't even used an ATM to withdraw cash for over 10yrs - I        seem to have plenty of physical cash from the people who pay in        cash at the shop. My problem is depositing that cash so that I        can pay bills electronically.                      RM> At that moment, one of the higher up business managers had been        RM> walking by and heard that. She literally walked up beside the        RM> lady and pushed her aside and said to me, 'Sorry about that. Do        RM> you think $1500 will be enough?".. I said yes and that was        RM> the end of it but you can see how hving a 'reputation' can get        RM> you special treatment..
