How can I cash my cheque without a bank account?

I have some pay cheques from work but I don't have a bank account. What's the best way to cash them? I've asked loads of places and no one will let me sign the cheques over to someone else. It's for $500 so I don't think it'll be ok if it goes through the ATM in someone else's account. Can anyone suggest something? Thanks!|||Think of it this way, your friend decides to do you a favor and help you cash your check. You sign it over to him, and he gets the cash for it. Later on the check gets returned for some reason. Your friend who did you a favor is going to get that money taken from their account plus a service fee. Your friend will get mad at you and you will no longer have a friend. That is why we don't let people be banks for their friends, my friend. There should be absolutely no reason you don't have a bank account of your own. Most banks have free checking.
