Usually withdrawal slips are not used for such high amounts.  You request to speak to the bank manager about the account and go to a private office. [/quote]

I've worked with corporations in accounting and banks like WF/BOA actually have private business offices where they take high profile clients. These are unidentified SEPARATE facilities from the public walk-in-from-the-street banks that you see publicly identified. Unfortunately if you've never worked in the situation (as a low level financial peon sent to get cash) or come from a wealthy background, you wouldn't know about that either.[/quote]

Agree, but even so, anyone can walk in and request to go to a private office.  Even if you do not know the procedure.  I'm just a regular nobody and I've done it a few times. [/quote]

So, “if you do not know the procedure” how would you even know that such a procedure is even possible?  In order to ask for something, it would help to know that it’s there.

The teller —or whoever she consulted — had his account information and had or could have asked for his ID. At any point, someone from the bank could have said that for a sizable withdrawal or for the privacy that he might prefer, a manager can handle this in an office. And they could have introduced him to the manager and taken him to that office.
It’s wild how so many people are working very hard to twist this so that it’s somehow Mr Coogler’s fault that multiple people who should have been working on Mr. Coogler’s behalf screwed up royally.  [/quote]

To answer all the people that are saying “how would he even know these unwritten rules?”  Trust me, he has been told them. We are very high net worth clients of banks. They want as much of your money as possible. So they call you frequently (it’s annoying) trying to get you into their various financial products, offer you services Joe Shmoe doesn’t get so you keep your million plus there. You have your own point of contact within the bank. If you are high net worth, you aren’t treated the same as someone who has got thousands in their account.[/quote]

Bull Sh*t.  Banks don't treat you any differently unless your Bill Gates wealthy.

Real high net worth here with too much money parked in an account with a local bank. They called and harassed me about it and moving it to various investments vehicles. Unlike you, I knew to tell them to never call me again. They know me and when I go in to withdraw money, I stand in line and wait for the teller like everyone else. I posted above about not having done it in a long time and talked to the manager who came out to greet me.  She walked me over to the first empty teller. I have done other business with that bank and only when we have forms to fill out or options to discuss do we ever go in to one of those rooms. They've never invited me to a room to withdraw cash even when I expressed being uncomfortable with it because of the amount. NEVER. Someone always comes and talks to me while I'm in the line and I often chat with them after but despite my discomfort, the teller is going to put on that Las Vegas display of shuffling the money and letting everyone in the building know how much money I've withdrawn.  [/quote]

I worked in banks for several years in my 20s. Most of them were in high traffic areas with lots of local businesses that did their banking with us. They routinely would come in with sacks of cash to deposit or wanted to withdraw thousands (For an in-store ATM, for ex.) and we do it right there at the window. We had privacy booths/rooms available but that was only if they (or any customer) requested it. We didn’t automatically send anyone to a special room over a certain dollar amount. [/quote]

And clearly didn’t initially think they were being robbed if she started the transaction. Which is the only way to get a flag from the system about the high dollar amount. The correct procedure is to notify the head teller (or a manager if the head teller is not available) who would come over and either approve you to continue with the transaction or they would take over if they felt they needed to do more due diligence. You don’t just call the cops because you’re ‘scared’.[/quote]
