I was surprised to learn the 2nd robbery I was in, the dude was middle aged and white. Everyone expects it to be a down and out junkie, but that's not always the case.. sometimes it is a depressed person who just wants attention.
Yep, I've heard the stat in the industry; robbery per day and I believe it. Whoever said a teller would get fired for raising a scene has no idea what they're talking about. Everyone reacts to a situation where someone potentially has a gun or a bomb or a knife differently. Human capital and trust is a Bank's most valuable asset therefore the employee would only get fired the 2nd time they did it. 
Any way, kidding aside just really glad to hear no one was hurt. |
I've been told first hand from friends who work at banks that tellers will get fired for causing a scene for no reason. Think about it, they could be endangering everyone's life inside that bank for causing a scene rather then quietly handing over 5 grand or whatever the robber requested. I'm using 5 grand because that's usually the limit tellers can withdraw without going to a manger? I dunno exactly, never withdrew that much cash before.
They are trained to hand over the money first and report it after the robber has left the bank...From what I've been told.
