You can bet that the counsellors will do more to upset the staff than the deed itself.

I'll bet none of them even knew what was happening except for the teller herself.

This bank was held up years ago and I happened to go in there shortly thereafter. You should have seen the scene, there were counsellors all over the place and the whole staff was in tears.

Looks like a case of reverse banking.

Someone should have offered the thief a bailout. Maybe he wouldn't have robbed the bank. Every one is getting a bailout these days.
