Disappointing to hear about Wells Fargo/Hogue; I thought I'd read that Congress had made progress in, un, choking out Operation Chokepoint.

I will say that I switched from Chase to Wells Fargo after a Chase branch refused to accept my CHL as a second form of ID. I'd gone into a branch to get a cashier's check drawn against my business checking account. Gave them my TXDL and CHL; they wouldn't accept the latter. Argued the point, got the branch manager, no dice. Finally offered up a VISA card (with no photo on it) which they happily accepted.

Got my cashier's check, then went to Wells Fargo. Explained to them what had led me to seek a different bank, opened up business checking & savings accounts, and used my TXDL and CHL to do so.

I've open carried into their lobby a handful of times this year, nobody cares.

I'd like to think that the Hogue situation is Federal chokepoint influence that hasn't been stamped out yet, rather than a cultural issue at W.F.
