Bank of America Announces "Temporary" Closures in my Hometown + Big Banks Shun My Town on PPP Loans + A Baseball/Bank Manager Story

<p><strong>Contains Adult Language</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>After Bank of America made decisions to close branches 2 weeks ago in Vegas and in Bakersfield, CA, I have been waiting for the shoe to drop in markets I am familiar with. It took over a week but it finally happened.</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;After "Temporary Closures" were announced in Orlando, Miami, Atlanta, Tampa, Charleston, Dallas, Houston, San Diego, Phoenix, and other areas due to "Coronavirus Concerns" (Although later press releases mention "low foot traffic as another reason), Bank of America hit close to home.</strong></p> <p><strong>My home region of El Paso, TX was impacted by BofA closures on Wednesday July 8, and then a former customer of mine and friend, Jennifer, sent me an instant message of an hour long line at my hometown branch in Las Cruces, NM where the lobby was unexpectedly closed down as well on Monday July 13. Unbelievable. BofA recently stripped 3/4 drive up lanes of service capability as well, leaving one lane of drive thru in one branch for 110k people in this town.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://kfoxtv.com/news/local/bank-of-america-temporarily-closing-locations-around-el-paso"><strong>News Article about El Paso</strong></a></p> <p><strong>I discuss in the podcast about the fake reasons behind the El Paso closure, how lame the Bank of America Spokesperson is when releasing statements that hold no logic to the media, and what I really think is behind it, and I speculate what the hell is going on at the branch I worked at and was fired from. I'm curious as hell.</strong></p> <p><strong>In between talking about the local closures, I go on a mini-rant about an incident regarding a night out at the ballpark for the El Paso Bank of America team which wasn't supposed to include us, and how a certain market executive was caught trying to screw us over, leading to a mini-revolt against management. It's a fun story, and you'll hear how pissed I was about it.</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Plus,</strong><a href="
