If I really hated the banks, I would make big deposits, wait a couple weeks, then go into a local branch and take it all out as cash. I would do it in a one-party consent state, so that I could record everything. The instant any bank fails to allow immediate cash withdrawal for my demand deposit, I would run to the local TV news, turn over my video, and then run down to the courthouse to file a civil suit as I gleefully await a bank run.
But I don't hate the banks. I just think they're full of amoral profit-maximizers that will consistently place their own welfare above those of their "customers". If you lower your expectations a bit, you can do business with any bank quite comfortably. It's almost like dealing with Comcast, or AT&T. Expect the worst from them at the outset, and you can only be pleasantly surprised if they do better.
