I am just relaying what I was told by the teller today when I tried to take out a large sum.

Yes he was behind a plastic wall.

He said that shipments of cash to the branch had been reduced and that people could only withdraw up to 500. This was not the case last week when I took out a considerable sum.

The reason he gave for the shipments being reduced was that they were afraid of robberies. I asked him about bank runs and he said yes there had been bank runs.

This Bank of America branch was inside a grocery store outside of Los Angeles.
