This makes no sense to me. This is what they told you? I've worked in banking for almost 20 years and have never seen or heard of something like this happening. I'm not saying you are making it up...just sounds crazy it would happen to someone, especially at a large bank.

I worked at several different branches of a bank while in college. It's a balancing act. Cash is a liability if your branch gets robbed and like LSUBanker said, you don't earn interest on cash in the vault or in teller draws.
A teller saying that they don't have 15K sounds suspicious, but what I can imagine happening (I've seen something similar) is someone walking into a bank wanting to cash a large check on a payday Friday, early afternoon.
The head teller might believe that the branch will run out of 100s before close and might try to talk the customer into either depositing some or taking a cashiers check (no fee of course). But I've never heard of a bank turning away a customer.
Now, if you don't have accounts there, I can see some tellers BSing you just so you go to another branch. Is it possible that they didn't know you were a customer of the bank?
