Yes, Trish. Actually, I have been in branches during 17 bank robberies in a 20 year span. I left banking. Once, I was the supervisor on floor and walked right up to the robber with gun in hand (I was 19 and pretty stupid) and he got shot by the guard in the parking lot. The other one was a robber came in with a shotgun and a stocking mask and lined us all up with our back to him. He was within inches of me waving that shotgun around. That was terrifying. I left banking 15 years ago, but, not because of that. I did have some friends who were locked in the vault and pistol whipped. They left after that.

Bank Robbery has gotten much more violent - I am glad to be out of that career.
