U.S. Century Bank: A Sign From God...The Non-Trusting God. By Geniusofdespair
I don't know about your bank, but I have never seen a sign like this at any bank except U.S. Century Bank. Are they paranoid or what? I can see the NO GUN ban (how are they going to check) but a sunglasses ban in Florida? 
Even though the sign depicts no sunglasses, I'll bet a white woman wearing them gets right in and a black guy gets thrown out. In my opinion, I bet they enforce the baseball hat and sunglasses ban selectively. I find this sign sort of offensive. It would be interesting to test my theory that they enforce these rules racially. BTW, when I took this picture, they came out to check on me.

BankUnited has something similar. I was surprised to be asked to remove my hat last winter.
I believe it's for the cameras to identify a person if there is a problem. Don't find it offensive, but precautious.
ONLY THE RINKY DINK BANKS HAVE THAT SIGN. AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE.
If a bank made me take off my sunglasses or my hat, I wouldn't bank there.
Barbara: I totally agree with you. This is offensive and easy to solve. Remove your money and refuse to bank at this bank and any others with this rule. The only clients left at this bank would be the stockholders and people that have a vested monetary interest in these banks. When that happens the bank will go belly up. I would never leave my money in any bank with this sign and these rules.
Chase has the same rule in their bank. Thats the reason I closed my account last year. I am a woman and I was asked to remove my hat. I removed my hat and my money the same time.
Daughter was robbed while working at a bank in DC. You bet your ass the banks should have this sign up - every single one of them.
I guess we know from these images who likes to bank at US Century.
I am glad to hear a woman was asked to remove her hat. If they do it to everyone and not profile I feel better about it. I still don't like this policy. Will they start doing it in convenience stores? They get robbed a lot. We might be seeing something bad in its infancy.
Bank of America has the same sign as does BB&T. Barbara really, is this worthy of a post in such an intellectual blog?
Their gun ban is unenforceable in Florida.
Whats funny is that according to Florida Law even if they put up a sign for no guns, it doesn't mean squat. It has no standing.
They could refuse (owner or manager) could refuse service on other grounds but not because of the weapon, but like you said in an earlier comment, how would they check? The point of having a concealed weapons permit is exactly that to keep the firearm concealed.
I agree with the ban. There's been a rash of bank robberies around here and at least one bank teller was shot and killed. The sunglasses, hoodies, hats make them impossible to identify. I dont think it will be racially enforced since white slimeballs have been holding up banks too.
A better sign would be: if you are carrying a concealed weapon, do not reveal it unless specifically requested by a teller.
