You have every right NOT to take a check from a specific bank or any bank at all. 
There are several small businesses here that have started refuseing checks from a 
local S&L because of the number of hot checks from that insitiution. Along the lines 
of 40% of all the hot checks in my store come from this one bank. This in a town of 
25k with 6 or seven banks.
