...especially if you're a bank robber, because the tellers are totally tired of your shit, and they're not gonna take it anymore.

Just before noon on May 25th, a woman—described in a police report as a black female in her 30s, wearing a baggy gray hoody, blue jeans, sunglasses, and a purple bandanna—walked into a bank at 5th and Olive.

Staff were apparently already suspicious of the woman the instant she stepped foot in the bank. The report says when the woman walked in wearing sunglasses with a hood over her head, a bank employee approached her and asked her if she needed help. The woman said no, and walked over to a kiosk where she used one of the bank's pens.

The woman then approached a female teller and passed her a note demanding money.

The teller recognized the woman from a previous robbery and, instead of handing over any cash, walked away from the suspect and informed other bank employees about the robbery attempt.

This apparently flustered the suspect, who ran out of the bank, leaving behind her note, as well as the pen she'd used inside the bank, which police collected as evidence.

I'd always thought bank employees were trained to comply with robbers' demands. Maybe since banks have effectively become free ATMs for meth and Oxycontin addicts in the last few years, that's changed.
