The problem is that banks with walk-in branches are competing with online banks that have a much lower overhead. If Suntrust and other banks couldn't charge fees to walk-in customers, they would just close the branch offices. The OP could have used her own bank ATM to deposit the check and gotten the cash out of the ATM with no fee. The bank branch offices are there for convenience, like the 7 eleven stores.
