I went to the credit union at lunch and I'll be god damned if those cocksuckers didn't put up a fucking 30.06 sign.  Fuck them.  I told the teller I wasn't happy about it as nice as I could, and then reminded her there were other banks.  She said she would tell the managers.  I'm giving them till the end of the year.  If it's still up, I'm moving my fucking money elsewhere.  I'm the god damned customer, I don't have to put up with this shit.

Is it a local credit union?  Most credit unions are democratically run, so mentioning a campaign to unseat the folks responsible might be effective.  

Wish I had a credit union in my town...

Why remind the teller that there are other banks?  She can't do a damn thing about it. She could be pissed about it as well but can't say anything.  Hell, the branch manager probably can't do shit about it.  You need to file the complaint above the branch level with someone that can actually make the decision.

Yeah, taking out frustration on underlings is generally pointless.  If you can't get to someone in authority, the best thing to do is just take your business elsewhere.  There are lots of other Credit Unions around and most of them have opened up membership to a lot more people than they used to.

My CU has one. A woman on the board had a Husband who blew his brains out so automatically it was the guns fault. I asked them if they were going to provide armed security to protect their customers since they were not allowing customers to protect themselves.
All I got was dumb sheep looks.
I told them that if I got hurt in there because I was not allowed to protect myself against deadly force; Meet the new Boss because I was going to own the place.
All I got was dumb sheep looks.
I was informed that you cannot carry a firearm in a bank because the money is Federally insured. They knew because they had called the LGS and that is what they said. I told them that I asked a Federal Prosecutor about that and he told me that was not true.
All I got was dumb sheep looks.
In the end they only recourse you have is to take your business someplace else. You might be able to get on the board and change opinion but I doubt that would work.

FCCU pulled that same crap in Houston.  I told them to close my accounts and why.  I went down the street to Amegy and opened three new accounts with the money I took out of the credit union.  Problem solved.

This is a small credit union.  The only branches they have are on the trees outside.

Again, this is a little credit union.  It was opened to serve the needs of one particular plant in Pasadena.  When the plant changed owners, they had a choice, go out of business or open it to other companies.  I've been a member there for 22 years.  I'm on my second generation of employees (as in, I knew your mom when she worked here).

For a couple of years they had one of those stupid no guns signs stuck on the window by the front door.  I usually laughed when I walked by it.  I'm sure some dumbass who should have known better clued them in on the difference.

Is their 30.06 even legally valid?  It has to be the proscribed wording in both English and Spanish and printed in block letters of contrasting colors at least 1" high.  That's a stiffer set of requirements than it might sound, and a large percentage of the signs I see are not conforming...  If the 30.06 wording is printed both English and Spanish on a single 8.5x11" page it is invalid, much too small.  If even the English and Spanish versions are printed on their own 8.5x11" page it is still invalid.  For that matter even if they use an 8.5x14" sheet for each English and Spanish it still isn't "legal sized".  Nope...  you've pretty much got to have a sign specifically made and the English and Spanish versions are both close to two 8.5x11" sheets in size each.

Oh...  and if it isn't valid... it means about as much as those little "gun buster" stickers.

I took a good look at it before I started bitching.  It's legal.  They have both the English and Spanish wording, as well as the correct size of the letters.  It's one of those Professional made" signs.  From a sign company.

When you do business with someone for over 20 years and then they throw up a 30.06 it sucks.

You are correct that if someone like you listed above moves their money then the bank would listen but if several smaller accounts start to move their money then they would have the same power...  That's the great thing about capitalism.... Enough people complaining will make the business owners change their ways or go out of business.

I have to agree that  your most likely correct about them not changing but if you find something you personally don't like you have 2 options .. 1. Do nothing and cary on but you don't have the right to complain... Or 2.  Make a stand what ever that may be and live with the results...

Me personally I would  ask to meet the manager and explain my concerns with them... If this did not change their policy I would move banks.
