I can say I have been in a bank robbery. On ...Well. I can say I have been in a bank robbery. On the teller side. Its not fun. The scariest thing I have ever been through. You never go back to work the same way again. Everyone is a suspect. That happened in May of 2006 and I still get subpeoned to testify against these guys. (Which, by the way, is extremely frustrating because we are told repeatedly, "So, you can't identify the individual because he was wearing a mask. And you can only assume he was african american because of his voice, but you could be wrong." Well, its true I could not pick them out in a visual lineup, but I could in a voice test. I guarantee you. And for months, if there was someone running in my generally direction with any kind of determination, there was a second of regression back to the moment when I was lept at over the counter and a gun to my face.<BR/><BR/>And then, to have it happen, though less violently, again 3 weeks later is just icing I suppose.<BR/><BR/>Its a moment that any teller will never forget.<BR/><BR/>Gald you and everyone else is ok.Melbell30https://www.blogger.com/profile/14796467626466913336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-114502705954567255.post-52227626824689599802008-12-03T07:57:00.000-08:002008-12-03T07:57:00.000-08:00That's ridiculous!

I work at BB&T here in my town and everyday we unlock those doors to people, and with ever unfamiliar face comes a little heart flutter, and the question of "What if..." <BR/><BR/>It's not a fun feeling. I have been lucky enough to not have ever been involved in one, but I can only imagine what was going on in your mind. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you are safe!!
