from a bank

You go to a commercial bank and ask for one, they will charge you a fee generally.
An important note not mentioned above. A cashiers check is legally different from a bank money order or other official check. By law, the acts and deeds of a bank's cashier cannot be repudiated. This is very important because the legal upshot of this is that a cashiers check cannot be stopped if it is lost. It is legally no different than cash because it is a direct draw on the legal reserves of the bank. Banks can refuse to replace a lost cashier's check, though generally they require you to take out an indemnity bond and agree to be liable for twice the value of the check and they will then issue a replacement check.
If you really want one, go to a teller and get one, but be sure it is the only thing that will accomplish the thing you need done.

A cashier's check is what some people refer to as a guaranteed instrument. The check will cost you slightly more than the face value of the instrument. They are available at your bank. I don't think you have to have an account at any given bank to buy the check but I must admit, all the checks I've ever purchased were from banks where I have an account.
One added piece of information. I don't know why you are getting a cashier's check but I can't recall any situation I was ever involved with that a Postal Money Order wouldn't have worked just as well. Hope this helps and good luck with your endeavor.

You buy it at a bank. Tell the cashier how much you want the check made out for and then you will give her that amount, and some banks charge a fee for issuing the check, so take some extra money over the amount of what you want the check for. The cashier will then issue the check.

Go to your bank and present them with cash and/or a personal check. They may charge you a fee, although most banks will probably let you have them free if you have a certain type of checking account. They will ask you for a payee and then print up the check and have an officer of the bank sign it. Also be aware that in this post 9/11 world, they may ask you for ID so they can verify that neither you nor the payee are on terrorist watch lists.

Frist, you need to get a job at a supermarket, then get a position checking people out, and two weeks later you get a paycheck, and since you are now a cashier, it will be a cashiers check.

You visit any place where there is a person whose job title is "cashier."
You then say you have a really bad owie on your arm and ask him/her to look at it.
The result is a cashier's check.

Go to a bank where you have an account (with enough to purchase the check) and request one. They'll make it payable to you and a third party if requested

Go to a local bank and ask for one, but you will have to make it out for the amount you want and pay a fee to cover the bank charge...
It shouldn't be much...
