My dad, my brother, and I all have accounts at the same bank. Got an email a few days ago asking people to use online banking as much as possible, but that the bank would still be open. Today my brother went to cash a check, and my dad was with him. He said the bank was empty of other customers, and the teller mentioned to him that they are no longer cashing checks for people who don't have an account at the bank. Not too crazy, but then the teller went on to say they won't cash a check for someone who DOES have an account if they are accompanied by someone who doesn't. (My dad was with him at this time, but this wasn't an issue because, as I said, my dad banks there as well.) I've never heard of a bank having a rule like this. Is that even legal, to deny cashing a check for a customer if they walk in with a non-customer? Strange.

Was it one of those giant cardboard sign checks? Lol. No. Unfortunately, it was his last check from a restaurant that just shut down due to Covid-19.

That rule sounds like something to keep people from being scammed. Maybe someone told a suggestible elderly person they were from the IRS and they needed to go take out some money to avoid going to prison, and drove them to the bank. Or something about taking advantage of someone who is being tricked into withdrawing and handing over money. Then they put in place some rule that always doesn't make sense.
