Was at a pickup bank last Thur about 5:50PM (They close at 6PM) to get my weekly box of halfs. I had given the teller my money & was talking with him. I heard a voice say loudly "Give me the money" 3 times from my right side. I first thought someone who knew the teller had come in & was fooling around. I turned to my right & saw a slender man, about my height (5'8") standing next to me wearing a light gray hooded sweatshirt. He had the hood up & was wearing a ski mask which left only his eyes showing. In his right hand he had a large caliber handgun (not a revolver). The teller slid a bunch of $20 bills thru the glass slot & he told the teller, "give me the $100s". I put my hands up so he could see I had nothing in them. I slowly backed away to a nearby chair & sat down. That's when I saw there was another robber getting money from another teller. He was identically dressed & also had a large caliber handgun. They than ran out the back door that they had entered thru. If they had come in 2 minutes earlier, they might had gotten my $500 as I hadn't given it to the teller yet. After they ran out, all the bank personnel pulled out their cell phones & called 911. I found out later that this branch has been robbed 3 times in the past year. After I told my story to the cops 3 different times they let me leave. Needless to say I didn't get my box that day. I went back Fri & was able to pick up my box than. It was a cube Brinks box. They've been pretty pepe le pew lately. This 1 turned out to be nice. & 40%s (3/67, 3/68 & 1/69). I guess that was to make up for the inconvenience on Thur.
