I had a person try to play the "change the bill" game with me when I was a convenience store clerk. I palmed a bill at a key point in the transaction.
I handed the palmed bill to the police detective standing behind the attempted perp. It was a great moment in retailing.
One bank used to keep a complete set of cashier trays so that employees wouldn't help themselves after another employee was robbed.

Sounds like my reaction the first time I realized that my nominal pay was not the actual amount on that pay check.

Serves the robber right for using the drive-through.

He should have had the teller open an account and put the money in there. Any mistake would have been caught immediately.

It's getting so a guy can't make a dishonest living anymore. I agree with LeDud. I took a break from nursing for a year and worked as a bank teller. I thought it would be less stressful. It wasn't. My personal policy about bank robbers was to give them whatever they asked for.

Sometimes you just have to take a stand and demand what's yours, yaknowwhatimean?

A friend of mine worked for several years in banking. Started as a teller and worked up to branch manager. Now he's a high school football coach in Florida, which is a much lower stress job.

Hey, if you need $20k to pay off your loan shark or crack distributor, anything less doesn't work.

hey, at least the guy could count!! A fine example of US educational system.

LeDud they didn't have to rob me. I'm terrible at math so I usually gave them too much money when they cashed a check.
