      I didn't read that it was a bank specifically, it was just a concrete example. But I don't really see the difference; it's the same underpaid workers, and the money is corporate either way.

      A "good" robbery only takes a couple minutes, does not involve pointing a gun at anyone, and is just go in, say it's a robbery, get a few thousand dollars, and leave. There's no time to dally, and certainly no reason to make a hostage situation.

      I believe the policy of most banks (not sure about retail) is that, if a customer comes in and says "this is a robbery", you just give them the money and call the cops after they leave.
