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)

In Publix..they’ll randomly ask to see your drivers license when you’re buying alcohol..the computer tells them when to ask for it..this way they can’t be accused of profiling..Publix has a great many employees under the age of 21, and every time I’m buying beer or wine there, and the cashier is under 21, they will call over someone else over 21 to ring up the purchase.
.and she looks at me and brightly says “you have to be 18 to play the lottery.”

I was coming out of WALMART with a case of O’Douls and the clerk - a 20 something White Guy - asked for my ID, I naturally assumed it was because I don’t autograph credit cards but I was swiping..so when I asked why, he replied ‘we check EVERYONE when alcohol is involved...I said that is NON ALCOHOL beer’, and I won’t reveal my age BUT my first FICA withholding was 1953 ... so my retort when asked is “You have got to be working for tips”, I realize that I am not the person I see in the mirror every morning but have been told enough that I look no where near my age I am starting to believe it....
Tough xxxxxxx $h!t. It’s who we are.
see my #21 above..
Geez..remember the days of 3.2 beer?
Oh yes...I ‘grew up’ in NY State and we could drink beer at 18 and there was ‘always’ an older looking kid plus playing sports in a small town/high school 18 year olds were always around to supply our ‘alcohol needs’ to us.
But in ‘those days’ school kids and teenagers were ‘kept in line’ by the whole town and since 1 coach did all 3 sports and summer baseball, there wasn’t much we could really ‘get away with’, no matter how much we thought we were....
I like to think that HRC meant the above scenario in her “It takes a Village” nonsense but she was going much much further than that....
There are signs at the entrance of some shops in town reading: “If you come in wearing a hoody the police will be called.”
As long as the credit union is enforcing the no hats or hoods policy equally then I don’t see where she has anything to complain about...other than for the sake of complaining.
In 1965...there was a huge story..5 HS kids from Greenwich were killed in a car crash on I-95..they’d been drinking at their parents homes..CT raised the age to 21 soon after. NYS didn’t for a while..and Vista, NY ( just over the line from Fairfield) soon had one traffic light, and about 15 bars and liquor stores..
You (WE) could be home free if just take that bag and a grease pencil and write “I AM MUSLIM” on it and enjoy the best of both worlds.
Also add ‘Allahu Akbar’ to be more convincing.
Muslims only think of themselves first.. others last!
Too bad it wasn’t a plastic bag...pulled tightly over her empty, whiny moozlum head.
I think headbag is the websites term. If you watch the video clip she was wearing one of those headscarfs that cover her head except for the face and not one of those KKK-type coverings that only have a mesh to see out of. Regardless, the credit union has a policy and they are enforcing it. She was not singled out because she was Muslim. It’s a safety issue for the employees at the branch and if she doesn’t like it she’s free to take her business elsewhere. But she should probably avoid banks that were robbed recently and who have heightened their security.

I am talking ‘53, ‘54’ 55 further up Rt22, Dover Plains, right across the CT line and Kent....just a hop skip and jump, as the crow flies.
Hey,consider yourself lucky.You seem to be aging far more gracefully than most of us.Or is it that the clerk had the IQ of a bag of rocks?
Off with her head !
“Also, my sunglasses are prescription so I guess if asked to take them off ...”
Since your glasses are Rx you should be able to still wear them just remove the hat. They can still tell who you are. “He was the dude wearing the Rx sunglasses”. Yea makes them easier to find you should, and heaven forbid you hold up the bank.
. 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.
It should not be different. No way should you be able to get a drivers license or go through airport security with your head covered.

Granted when I go into a bank I have the ‘equipment’ to certainly do that BUT I also have the ‘equipment’ to commit rape and like robbing the bank, that hasn’t really crossed my mind as the ‘way to go’.
People don’t want to follow the lobby rules, use the out of lobby ATM or the drive through.
No car, no problem, we will GIVE you one just so you don’t have to be inconvenienced and take of your FACE COVERINGS.
And with risking the chance of being accused of ‘jumping the gun’, she says she has a drivers license and she is at the bank, I will go out on a limb and say she may have driven to the bank.
“They” used to ‘mock’ the Nuns Habit but, for the greater part, one could see her face.
Yeah, and I want to fly somewhere without being fondled. But because of bagheads I can’t.
