Legal Question in Banking Law in California

I have a check for $10,000 drawn on Wells Fargo Bank. I wanted to cash the check and deposit about $7000 to a friends account there at Wells Fargo. They told me that I have to have an account set up with them, or they will not cash the check. They even called the author of the check to verify that it is an actual check to me, and I gave them my passport and California driver's license to authenticate my identity. They told me that unless I open an account with them, they will not cash the check. What gives?
