For those of you who don't like the bank pitching everything to you, don't take it out on the employees there. They are simply doing their job, as they have been told to do. If it really turns you off, consider writing a letter to their corporate HQ (Vice PResident of Customer Service is what Clark Howard suggests for other companies) and let them know.
Banking is a very competitive business. Where I work, I can see 5 different banks from out the window, plus there's anotehr one in the grocery store across the parking lot. If the bank has a reputation for NOT pushing sales, maybe they'll get more customers. Our bank is popular because it's the only local bank in the area, everyone else is the bigger banks, which many are turned off by.
