Taking to Reddit, the complainant identified as Ashish, narrated the entire incident. He explained at length how at an SBI branch in sub-urban Bengal, close to Calcutta, he was told to come back wearing ‘full pants’ as wearing shorts was against customer decorum.

On asking for an official circular enlisting the code of conduct for the visiting customers, he was shunned saying, “We expect customers to follow basic decency.” Not only did the bank employees didn’t adhere to his request of closing a dormant account, but he was also shamed for entering the bank wearing the running shorts (which he has apparently worn to multiple banks) in the presence of female staff.

Some slammed the bank for their unnecessary policy and suggested ways to complain about the incident to higher authorities:
