10 Tips For Robbing A Bank From A Retired Bank Robber

Clay Tumey realized that he wasn't putting too big of a target on his back because he understood what banks consider an acceptable loss. The tellers would almost always adhere to his demands so he could usually be cordial in the process.

"No threat. I just told them what I wanted, and they complied. This is how it works in America because the amount of money a bank gives up ($5-$7k on average) per bank robbery is infinitely less than the amount of business they'd lose if s*** got wild in a bank full of customers."

Bank tellers are trained to not combat robbers as a way to minimize any potential threat to everyone's physical safety.

"They just want to give you what you want and for you to get the h*ll out of their bank."

There's nothing honorable about robbing a bank but Tumey knew how things operated to be very successful at it.
