Gender bias.I opened an account at Suntrust on Battlefield some 20+ years ago. The bank and branch became Wachovia and then Wells Fargo. There is $80,000 in the account, all of which I deposited before marriage. Years later, I got married and went to Wells Fargo on Battlefield Blvd. to add my husband's name to the account. On my subsequent bank statements, they felt the need to list his name first. Annoying, but I did nothing about it.But now -- I recently submitted a change of address. They refused it because it wasn't signed, which is OK, but they wrote to my husband to say so! I can think of no explanation for this other than the fact that he is a man, and I am a woman. (Yes, my name comes first alphabetically.)
