    I Win!!

    Guerilla tactics work. Trust me.

    When I first moved down here I got an account at Bank of America (BoA). The most annoying thing for me was seeing this Home Mortgage sign that was in Spanish right by the teller windows. The most annoying part is that there was no english on the sign anywhere, but there were english brochures (along with spanish ones).

    One day I noticed a black dry erase marker that staff must use to update the daily mortgage rates. I began taking this marker and writing phrases like "Enlish speakers want to buy homes too", "Me No Speaka Da Spanish", "Ummmm I want to buy a home but can't read this" etc....

    I have been doing this for months.

    Today I go to the same bank and to my astonishment the sign is in English. I yell really loud "YES! I WON".

    Guerilla Tactics work folks, start posting messages at stores about spanish language ads. Make sure you file formal complaints with management about spanish language products and advertising. If I can reverse BoA's thinking with small messages, which I'm certain most other customers agree with, then we can all make a difference in our local communities.

    Awesome! I opened an account with BoA in July. I've already had it up to here with BoA's pandering to Spanish speakers. I'll be moving my account as soon as I can.

    Way to go, dragons5.

    I closed out my account with BoA about 8 months ago because of their obvious catering to illegals. I was sitting in the bank one day talking to a manager, and a man sat down at the desk near me to discuss a mortgage with an officer. He could barely speak or understand English, as far as I could tell. The last straw was when I went through the ATM only to be greeted first in Spanish as I tried to make a withdrawal. I marched into the bank, told them I realized I'm only a drop in the bucket, but would no longer be banking with them.
