They seemed to be sitting quietly holding one sign when she approached them and demanded that they leave. She came across as a tight-assed bitch for sure, but was likely acting on corporate orders and afraid she was gonna screw up. Bad position to be in and she did not handle it with grace. I've had to deal with her in a couple of banking transactions for one of my consulting clients, and she's always a bit frantic even when not dealing with protesters.
As for bank's position, if they were smart they would be nice to the protesters to show they aren't the corporate monsters they are being painted. But we are talking about BoA, a bank that once charged me a five dollar fee to cash a ten dollar check. I would never bank with them based on that alone.
