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. |
how much money do banks even hold in this day and age?
I'd imagine not enough to risk being put away for a long time (though in canada, is this not just a slap on the wrist and promise not to do it again?). whenever i've needed to take out large sums of money (>10K), i'd need to give the banks 48 hours warning, which suggests they don't hold hundreds of thousands of dollars (and nor should they)
