So what's the problem then?

It's called business. Would you pay a lawyer a retainer and then
expect another lawyer to go to court for you?

I've never heard a logical argument why another bank shouldn't charge
you for cash when your account is somewhere else. But you can try if
you're up to it.

That's absolutely irrelevant. Before ATMs were around another bank
would never give you any money unless you had an account.
