Citizens Bank in Bloomfield, New Mexico

I have been into this particular branch about a dozen times in the past and I've worn a hat probably more times than not. I conducted my business without any concern until today when a young lady insisted that I remove my hat before she would help me. There was an older gentleman standing right next to me who was also wearing a hat, however, for whatever reason the lady didn't seem to care and did not ask him to remove his hatI asked him on the way out the door... This was rather irritating because if you're going to tell one person to remove their hat you better tell EVERYONE to remove their hat every time they enter the building or you could be facing a lawsuit. I refused to do so and opted instead to go to the drive through to complete my transaction. After it was finished I asked to speak with a supervisor and I was ignored so I walked back into the bank and expressed my feelings to the tellers at the counter. When the exchange was complete an older gentleman also wearing a hatstanding behind me said "amen to that". The tellers actually called the owner of the account that I deposited money into, told them about the incident, and threatened to ban me from the location. Sounds like someone was embarrassed. According to one teller it was the banks "policy" that you can't wear hats, hoods or sunglasses into the bank. You as a customer are suspicious and are required to adhere to some inane dress code because it will somehow foil a robbery. I'll bet a million dollars that they wouldn't dare ask a Muslim woman to remove her Hijab, yet, requiring a young man to remove his hat before you help him is standard operating procedure.

Rude employees. I'd prefer wells Fargo over citizens any day!
