Robbery Trend
Posted on August 29th, 2007 in Wordless Wednesday, Work/Volunteer |
(The bank where I worked for a week for Work Experience is one of the “Another Banks” on the Westside. Week 4 was the week I worked. I did not get robbed *glares at Jennifer*, but the trend sure looks promising doesn’t it? What happens is a guy walks in with a note saying something like “I have a weapon, give me $2500 in 20s”.
My coworkers kidded that they will be bringing a baseball bat to work this Friday. Thought to self: how come my Wordless Wednesdays are never wordless?!)

Lol, I think I would be confused if it were completely wordless. I actually thought this was one those sponsor blogs…? x] hahaha. But wow. Hope nothing bad happens.
And I could never disappear from my online life! Not so soon, anyway. I met too much great people (hehe hai Crystal lmao) and I don’t think I could put it all behind. Kind of creepy, actually x]
You got robbed?!!
you got robbed?
I’m so confused -cries-
anyway, maybe your wordless wendsdays are too complex for our, and your, own good. lol.
It is scary that you were working in another branch of the same bank when one of the branches were being robbed. I would be to freaked out to even go to work, probably call in sick and that I have a very contagious rare disease that causes me to change colours every 5 minutes.
Wouldn’t that be strangely cool though?
A fellow Vancouverite!
I was reading your about page just before I came across this entry, and when I read “westcoast” and “rains a lot” I knew you had to be from here. After all, being a rain(y)forest is our trademark.
That’s rather creepy though, working in a branch of a bank where a string of robberies have occurred. I’d definitely bring something to protect yourself (like a bat), or like Nirthikaa said, fake a horrible illness for a week.
On a side note, I can’t believe I haven’t heard about this. I suppose I should start reading the newspaper more carefully.
Your store got robbed? Wow. I work in a Spa but not front desk. I guess that makes me lucky if there’s a robbery. I doubt it though. Security in a Casino is pretty tight. Be careful
@ Jennifer: look at the evil trend you started!
Lol no I didn’t get robbed. The week I worked was WEEK 4, where we heard about the fourth case. Our bank is wayyy on the west side so it hasn’t gotten to us yet. Maybe it’ll stop, I don’t know. Anyway I’m only there for a week for Work Experience, but I hope my coworkers handle it well if and WHEN the time comes.
I’m amazed at how many banks got hit in the area… I hope yours is one of the lucky ones!
Wow, he definitely does have the same patterns… but I wonder… when you rob a bank, would you not care about getting the same amount?
:O That’s so dangerous!
Well I guess it is dangerous anywhere that you deal with money, even a grocery store cashier is at that risk, and a bank seems like crazy place to rob because of all the security.
Anyway those are a lot of bank robberies for a single city and such a short time. I’m glad nothing happened to you! :biggrin:
Thanks. I don’t know that I’ll make much difference, but hey, I’ll try.
That’d be hecka exciting! You’d feel like one of those state troopers who thinks their all powerful because they have a badge! Hey, you must have a badge or name tag seeing as how you work at a bank, huh? Huh? 0_o
I think its cause your so smart. 
How are you in your mid-teens and starting college? Are you like 15?
Yay, you didn’t get robbed! I glare at you! Ha!
Oh!!!
… I still don’t get it, lol.
Yeah, working at a bank sounds dangerous. Maybe you shold carry pepper spray!!
Wow, I haven’t felt this inmature or annoying in so long. You bring out that side of me, lol.
Wait.. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 are considered teens… so you must be 16?
Btw, I removed your from my link exchange page. Just thought I’d tell you, regardless of the fact that you failed to mention that you removed me from yours.
I’ll add your link again if I’m making you feel bad or if you desperately want your link on my site, lol.
Yeah, I don’t really appreciate exchanging links and affiliating anymore either. I’ll continue to, but 99% of the time visiting sites and returning comments feels like a chore, you know?
Well, later! Sorry if I’m making you read too much.
Are people allowed a taser gun? Because I think that would work better.
“Worse than using wet cardboard instead of meat as Chinese baozi fillings.”
Gaaahhh! Whenever I read that I swear I can taste it!
That’s crazy. I’d be scared poopless! Can you bring pepperspray? Though… if they had a gun, that might not be much use, huh?
@ Steph. Can’t you just imagine this?
(Girl with pepper spray) “DROP YOUR WEAPONS, I’M ARMED AND DANGEROUS AND I CAN AVADA KEDVRA YOUR ASS LIKE I MEAN IT”
(Guy with gun) “I surrender! Have mercy! Have mercy!”
@ Jennifer. Yes I’m 16, good deductive reasoning! Haha… no I don’t mind you removing my link. I should’ve given you a heads up, but it must’ve slipped my mind because most people I linked aren’t link exchanges.
@ Teelia. I thought so too, obviously the guy has planned it all out. If he hits 4 banks he would get $10 000. It also makes it look like he’s making an withdrawal when he’s robbing the banks, instead of just asking the teller to dump hand over all their float.
@ Exene. Snap! I just had baozi for dinner. I trust my mother’s cooking, I think…
I was going to say that I have good deductive reasoning!! It was a geometry term I used a lot last year.
I just noticed that I wasn’t linked back and thought it was because you really disliked me or something, lol.
You beat me to it, lol. Now I have to come up with something better.
Sorry if I’m casing you stress with the link exchange deal.
A bat always helps when defending yourself against a thief. Just take one swing and *bam*. I’ll leave it to your imagination to come up with a mental image.
