    “…for 32,000$, thus breaking even with the money he initially invested buying avocados to commit the heist”.

    I know some bank tellers who say they are taught to comply with ANY robbery instructions. Even if it’s as simple as someone slipping them a note saying, “This is a robbery” with no explicit threats. If they feel comfortable, they can slip him the marked bills or dye packs, but they won’t be punished if they don’t. Get the robber out, lock the door, call the cops.

    I could totally see the tellers recognizing the avocado for what it was and figuring it was on the cops to catch him, not theirs.

      How interesting! Which banks are these, by the way? So we know which ones are safest to work at, of course.

    people are fucking sheep.

    “I HAVE A GRENADE! GIVE ME MONEY!” (it’s an avocado)

    “OH GOD! HERE! TAKE IT!”

    Still not as bad as that time Verizon handed over their customer’s data to some idiot that said he was an FBI agent. And in case it wasn’t obvious, he was a fraud and he didn’t have anything that looked like an official warrant either.

      Why would I protect some corporate property when somebody threatens me with an avocado.

      At least I hope he only robed the bank and not the employees wallets.

        Robbing the bank means you’re stealing money from regular people. That’s not the corporation’s money, that’s the bank-client’s money.

        Which means that the clients lose money and the banks get another reason to have free money from the tax payers.

        Double-theft where only the corporations win.
