Report: Tellers snub would-be bank robber on the Bowery

According to the Daily Blotter in the Post today, a man tried to rob the Chase on the Bowery at East First Street… but walked out empty-handed after tellers ignored his threat.

To the report!

The man slipped a note penned on a Whole Foods receipt to a teller ... at 12:18 p.m. Monday.

The note read, “Give me all the money nobody getting hurt!” the sources said.

The robber then whispered in a West Indian accent, “Just read it,” according to the sources.

The teller ignored him and walked away.

Infuriated, the crook screamed at a second teller, “Give me the money!” the sources said.

That teller, too, walked away without giving the would-be robber anything.

What can we learn from this?

    He clearly was looking for attention and not money.

    Those Chase tellers probably just thought the bank robber was a regular checking customer, since ignoring any customer who doesn't qualify for their private banking service is pretty much the norm.

    I'm sure the tellers would've reacted differently if he had a gun in his hand...

    Considering that Chase is the biggest bank robber/bankster in town, they just laughed at the amateur with the scribbled note....
