She "claimed she would contact her boyfriend and have him come back with a weapon," Jones said.

This might be a case where division of labor doesn't increase efficiency.

It's a trick, she's sending her girlfriend. They'll never see it coming...

Wow, really? She actually just walked up to him and said "give me all your money" without even pretending to have a weapon or anything?

This wasn't a potential robber. This was just a dipshiat. Probably on meds.

That's some fine work by the teller.

BANK = four letter word
Credit Union = Awesome!

Will someone please PLEASE post the video surveilance footage when released?

Is it really even a crime to walk up to a teller and say, "So, can I have all the money in your drawer?"

The article makes is sound as if the lady went into a bank, without a weapon, and asked for money. The teller said "No", and the lady went away. What crime was committed?

If it's a crime to beg for money, then the cops need to get busy arresting the panhandlers at every major intersection here in Las Vegas.

LMAO.
Criminals are so stupid. How funny would it be if the bank got robbed she had nothing to do with it but gets blamed and serves the whole sentence of robbing a bank.

I was thinking the same thing until the end of TFA where she threatened the teller.

I only go to my CU on friday. The ladies there make cookies every friday and they know my name!

I think that's probably a grey area. It could be construed as a threat.

One does not, for example walk up to a police officer and ask them if it's ok to shoot them. Alternatively, you could trying walking up to the security checkpoint at the airport and asking if it is ok for you to carry a bomb in your carry-on bag.

Tase her in her Boobies.

What's really funny is that the teller will be fired or written up for "not following protocol".

If a farker walks up to a woman in a night club it can and should be construed as sexual harassment

The hoops the system makes ya jump through..

But did she at least get a toaster?

/like a bank or CU would do that anymore...

Sadly, video surveillance typically don't have audio. That would be the truly priceless part of this whole incident.

With the economy the way it is, we're lucky they don't replace the entrances with a series of hula hoops to jump through for their amusement..

techmaniac: BANK = four letter word

THIS squared.

The teller is an idiot. She makes like $8/hour and she risked her life (by not giving the robber money) for under $5000... none of which is hers.

Having worked at a bank I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't get fired. Rule #1 is you give robbers the money even if they are not threatening and don't appear to have a weapon. How would you feel if you say no and 3 people get shot/killed?

I was hoping that the teller got the would-be robber to fill out an account application.

I'M A TELLER!!! I CAN GIVE AN INFORMED OPINION HERE!111111ONEELEVENTY1!

First guy: Nope, we usually take it as a joke.

Second guy: DING DING DING!!!



"Of course I heard you. What I didn't hear was, 'Please'."

It makes me happy to hear someone say please. No one ever does. It's basically, "Give me my money, peasant."

I hate to say it, 'cause you're not supposed to, but I'd probably jump over the counter if a guy passed a note. A gun might be different. Otherwise, c'mon.

In times like this, it's not just money a robber is stealing. It's people's hard work.

zuce: How would you feel if you say no and 3 people get shot/killed?

It depends. Am I one of the three people who got shot? Assuming I'm not, do I like these three people? Are they asshats? Maybe they deserve a good shooting. Then it'd be jiggy.

/yah, kidding
//tellers should just hand it over and not fark around, best for everyone
///bank robbers aren't usually smart enough to figure out dye packs, from what Fark has taught me

Wow. That teller either has a huge set of brass balls or some damn good bullet-resistant glass in front of her to pull that stunt. As a former 6-yr CU employee (still have all my money there), if I did that my boss would have handed my ass to me. Of course after we all got to the watering hole around the corner from the branch...

I wonder if you can go up and ask for free samples from a Teller.

/Certain restaurants at the food court in the mall do it.
//It's a sign of good will, right?
///Show us what you got! :D
////Don't taze me, bro!

If this was in Florida, she would come back.

As a Banker who works platform and supervises tellers, I'd like to remind you of the FDIC. Nobody's out their "hard work", don't endanger yourself for money that's insured.

I hope you haven't been working in the bank long, because if you have, you should have realized by now that if you "jump over the counter", you're not just endangering your own life, but also your coworkers and anyone else who happens to be nearby. Yeah, it's probably just someone with a piece of paper, but if they do happen to have a weapon, someone is likely to get killed.

The safe bet is always to just hand over the money. It's insured, and these days, bank robbers always get caught anyway. The FBI is always involved from the get-go, and they're on a dozen cameras before they even get to the teller line. Don't do something stupid out of misplaced heroism.

I misread this as "Give me my money, pissant." I think I like my version better.
