Checking account Using a debit or ATM card North Carolina

I have a checking account at Wells Fargo and have specifically asked that I be 'Opted-Out ' for overdrafts on ATM and one time debit card transactions. On -/-/- I withdrew $40.00 from the Wells Fargo ATM. The ATM screen told me that I was trying to withdraw more than the balance in my account and I would be charged a $35.00 fee. I accepted but did not expect the fee to be charged ( I thought this was a standard alert message ) since under Reg E the bank was not allowed to charged an overdraft fee for any ATM or one-time debit card transactions that were approved into overdraft. Thinking this was an error I did call Wells Fargo ( - on Thursday, -/-/- at - ). who was very condescending and said that it was my problem since I had clicked to continue the withdrawal at the ATM. This seems unfair for the bank to say that I am opted-out ( under Reg E ) and then charge me a fee when I accept the withdrawal at the ATM. At that point they had me in an untenable position and took advantage so that they could get the fee income.
