At banks with open retail areas like TD Bank can understand why a teller would fork over money to a robber. But this Chase branch like others has tellers behind thick bulletproof glass.

Oh, yeah, Chase should DEFINITELY put a bagful of cash above the life of everyone in the branch.

So many armchair tough guys in the world, so few grownups.

A teller rejecting the request puts the other customers in the lobby at risk from an angry, foiled robber.

And what about the customers next to and behind the robber. How safe were they?

The teller acted according to his or her training.

Yeah, I’m sure he will still be wearing the hat, coat and sunglasses on a day to day bases so he could be recognized.
NOT.

Awesome description. This should really make it easy to find him among the thousands of other men in their 30s wearing all black in NY. LOL

Recently saw Old Man and a Gun, and Robert Redford’s bank-robbing character had real style!

That Chase on Broadway 95/96 is dark and covered and a prime target for a robbery.
In general, banks seem to be designed by the same teams that construct the interiors of Drug Stores . Cheap and easily replaceable furniture and space. So sad

Ray Kelly chided banks for giving up the money too easily. I’m not sure what else you would do though. A couple thousand to get this guy out the door is probably worth it.
