So this guy is still on the loose with an undisclosed sum of money. If you watched the vid, he displayed no gun. He just gave her the note and the bag and left. What would you have done in that situation?

I would have handed the money over, I'm not risking my life for my job.

That's what they're told to do when someone does something like that. They would have to give the money, even if they don't see a gun. It's the first thing they learn when they become a teller.

I'd right a message back saying:"You forgot to say "this will only take a second."".
Awsome face.

I've heard that what a lot of banks do now is have a specially marked set of bills that are specifically designed to be easy to track. When a bank robber demands the money, the teller then gives them that stack of bills. I don't think any person would risk their own life to save some money, especially since, in all likelihood, the robber will be caught.

Now that I think about it...

I don't think I know what to do if someone tries to rob where I work. O.o

I guess if there was a gallon of paint nearby, I could lob them in the face with it, those things are heavy. O.o

I'd give them the money; they're gonna get caught, and I'm fairly certain the people who deposited money aren't actually losing their money. So...there's no incentive to be heroic, since it's more stupidity than heroism anyway.

They aren't, it's the bank's responsibility to not be robbed.

So yes, I agree with ^ and Andre.

Hmm, less lulzy than I thought.

Would you still have handed over the money if you knew the guy was unarmed? If some jackass handed me a note telling me I was being robbed and I could *see* he had no weapon of any kind, I'd probably tell him to get the hell out of my bank.

Danny Trabajo · #10 12th January 2010, 00:08

Yeah but what if he came back a month later, this time armed? Like the article said, they're pretty confident of catching the guy. Why not stop the guy while you can rather then telling him to **** off only for him to do something else?

That's a pretty absurd hypothetical though. How would you know?

True story, a Circle K got robbed here last night, and the guy got away because the police went to the WRONG CIRCLE K (we have 3 for some god damn reason.) Don't trust cops to do their jobs right, because just like the robbers, they're only doing it for the money.

You can't pigeonhole every cop like that.
