High salaries, seven-figure bonuses and an agreement for the bank to pay $400 million to name the New York Mets baseball team's new stadium Citi Field haven't helped sentiment.

"If they are spending money on silly things, they should better keep it. The one thing I know is that it affects me, too," said Hilda, 55, from New Jersey, who declined to give her last name.

After several calls, no Citigroup officials were available for comment. (Reporting by Juan Lagorio; Editing by Gary Hill)
