The main reason it is not good to go to a check-cashing store instead of a bank is the fees that will be assessed by the check-cashing store. Check cashing stores tend to charge you a percentage of the check as a fee - 10% or more, usually. Banks, if they charge you a fee at all, usually charge a flat fee that ranges from $5-15, and usually only on checks over a certain amount ($50 or more). And most banks will not charge you any fee to cash a personal check that is made payable to you (fees typically apply only to checks given to you by a business rather than an individual).
