Adiaratou Sall of Hazelwood says after ten years of banking with the Gateway Metro Credit Union she was refused service, for the first time ever, because she was wearing a headbag. Tellers wanted it removed for security reasons.
KSDK The credit union says it has had a policy for years of no sunglasses, hats or hoods. Because of recent robberies the credit union is enforcing the policy more strictly. But Sall says she can vote, get a driver’s license and go through airport security with the same scarf and wants to know why banking should be any different. ”I feel hurt, big time and violated,” says Sall. “It’s who I am.” (Oh, boo hoo)

I've had the same thing happen to me at the Walmart self-check lines. Apparently, it's incorrectly coded as alcohol, so the system freezes until the attendant checks your age. I've asked them a few times why this is so since anyone can buy no-alcohol beer and the only response I've gotten in reply is "I don't know."
The Old Drovers Inn in DP was a fave of mine..as was the CIA..and The Bird in the Bottle
Very often it's an improvement.
I’m going to look for opportunities to play that. Thanks, consider it appropriated.
“Non-alcohol beer” is a misnomer. It still has alcohol in it, but only a very tiny amount.
The purpose is so the security cameras get a better picture.
Go find another bank. Geez
So little that your bladder would burst before you got drunk.
back in the 50’s as a teen I worked as a cashier in a grocery store. we had to also have the assistance manager ring up any beer or wine that came through our register line....not a new thing...
A couple of time, heck yes. Something like .5% or something. But, “technically” it’s still beer for the purposes of taxation and regulation.
I bought some beer while on vacay in MI once, and I had to reach over the counter and push a button for the under-aged cashier, so I was technically checking myself out.
lol good one
Aha! LOL!!
I’m thinking, though, plastic, tied tightly under the chin would be far more appropriate.
I think the muzzie MALES should start a trend...show us how it’s done.
Yes?
