I put my life on the line every day as a bank security guard, protecting the lives of the customers and employees of a Major National Bank.

I do not myself bank with said Major National Bank.

Occasionally I have fielded customer complaints, or answered questions about the bank's policies. I always direct customers to speak to the staff. If they press me, I say, "I don't know . . . I don't bank here."

One lady said in reply, "So you wear that gun on your hip and protect this place with your life, but you don't trust this place with your own money?"

"Nope."

She went right in on the spot and closed out her accounts.

I bank with a credit union, and can't for the life of me figure out why an individual consumer should bank anywhere else.
