Maybe it's different on that side of the pond, but these days even if 
you hand a teller a check it gets scanned right then & there, and 
transmitted electronically within minutes (not immediately, of course; 
they're sent in batches to reduce overhead).

Mostly it's the smaller banks & credit unions that process checks by 
hand, and even then it's usually the ones that have fewer than 10 branches.
