Always Safety First
I never worked as a bank teller, but it always struck me as a classy job. In the hierarchy of jobs that require you to stand behind a counter, I opted for the lowest level, and joined the food service industry, a decision I kind of regret when I think of all the classiness I lost by not being a bank teller.
Of course, working at the mall Chik-fil-A, I was probably at less risk of being shot. So I essentially traded dignity for security. Like when you wear a helmet on a bike. Or when you cross a canyon by using a bridge, instead of trying to jump it on a motorcycle.

It always seems that girls always work as bank tellers, and whenever I do see a guy standing their, I'm wondering:
Did Susie call in sick today, or is this guy gay?

I like how teller-lady is glancing at teller-dude, silently goading him with her eyes, saying something like, "come on, Jim -last night you claimed to be such a BIG man. Where's the confidence now, huh? Show me now what kind of BIG man you are!"
And you just know he's crappin' his pants. Dude's never gettin' into teller-lady's pants. Pitty.

The real question is Mojo hiding under the counter pressing the emergency button or out buying tacos for lunch?
6. The Colonel
I may be old fashioned, but give me a sack fulla coins over a sack fulla dollars any day.
At least with the coins, you can club unsuspecting passersby as you beat a hasty retreat.

I was a bank teller AND a food service worker -- the heterosexual kind. I don't know what was worse... people angry over their food or people angry over their money. Either way the jobs sucked. I never got heisted, but I did get counterfeited a couple times. Sneaky buggers...
8. Design Monkey
Like Steve, I too was a heterosexual bank teller and a food service worker. The bank teller thing put me through university, but resulted in me being heisted three times (once at gunpoint), filling out endless police reports, catching a counterfeiter and having to testify in court. Needless to say, at the studio where I work, I'm known as the designer with the sordid past.

Shane - I was just surprised to find that every bank employs a "Susie".
Testmonkey - Haha - it DOES look like she's goading him...
Monkeyinabox - No question there — Mojo would be in the safe deposit vault, guarding his banana stash.
Colonel - True, true... nothing packs a wallop like those old buffalo-head nickels... remember them?
Steve - Wow - what's counterfeit money like? How'd you catch it?
Design Monkey - MAN! Where were you a bank teller? I'm pulling any money I have in there right away....
Mork - But the pantyhose would be covering your ears... you need to wear the sunglasses under the mask...

About the socks and the sunglasses: Did you ever consider full-body-condoms with build in sunglasses. They sell them at every local drugstore...
On the other hand the venetian masks look a lot better as I had to find out a couple of nights ago when a friend of mine raided a gas station in his underwear and that particular venetian mask.

Oh, bytheway, the recent article section on this page looks a little odd in the safari 3 beta... (very thin)

you forgot to mention that to work in a classy job... you have to actually be classy.

I think it is one of the first questions they ask in the interview,
Or at least until they meet their quota...

I agree with The Colonel. Money is COINS. Imagine pirates traversing the Spanish Main with chests full of greenbacks - doesn't work does it? Or worse, chests full of credit cards...
Bring back the doubloon I say!
22. BigA
I'm really sorry I have to do this and I apologize, but
you know why he turned to a life of crime? Because the boy just didn't have any cents.
sorry.

I would like to think that Mojo is driving the getaway van. In heists there must always be a monkey involved and a getaway van.

At least they'll have enough change to wash their thievin' clothes and perhaps buy a soda or get a car wash. All very important things for the next heist.
