I have been meaning to write about this for a while but havent got to it, this happened on thursday August 6.
I have two accounts with U.S Bank and it was time to make a deposit in one of them up until that day I hadnt carried into a bank yet because i was too nervous but i was feeling good that day and decided to try it. So I walk into the bank and get in line at first it seems like if nobody is goin to notice im carrying. I start filling out a counter receipt for my deposit, when I hear a shrill voice ask me "You have a badge or something to show me son?" I turn around and a short chubby middle aged woman with U.S bank Name tag that says Assnt Manager is standing there behind me with her hands on her hips she asks me again "Son do you have a badge that lets you carry tha in her?" at this point I look around and all tha employees are standing from their desks and staring at me. Two men come and stand next to the Assnt Manager almost pinning me against the counter. I start explaining to the Manager how open carry is legal even inside a bank I try to show her a pamphlet but she did not want to see it her response was "Oh ill find out if you can do that or not in my bank ill be right back you just wait here" she storms oof in to her office and the two other employess stay to "keep an eye" on me. I decide im not going to waste my time so i push trough the employees to the counter where the clerk is and tell give him my deposit slip he takes it and completes my transaction as i am getting ready to leave the Assnt Manager comes back out and says "I talked to the regional manager so you cant carry that in here unles you a a police officer or armed security guard" I say ok and that I will be closing my accounts with them as soon as I get back from my honeymoon she says "Go ahead" I walk to my car and call the U.S corporate offices who in turn give me the regional managers number I call her an she tells me its against corporate policy to have ANY weapon in their banks becasue "It makes you look like if you are about to rob thea bank and will make other customers nervous". I tell her i will close my accounts she says "Im sorry you have to do that we respect your rigths but we cant allow you to have a weapon in our banks."
Well so it looks like I need A new bank now, Any Suggestions?
