The time an armed robber apologized for misgendering me as he made us empty the tills. Instantly went from one of the scarier moments of my life to one of the most absurd
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.
