So Im getting ready to go home last night around 6:30...all of a sudden there is a lot of noise down stairs in the branch (work for a bank in the Yonge & Eglinton area). Walk downstairs to see some guy in a Mask with a gun in his hand shouting at everyone to get down or he is going to kill everyone. 2 - 5 minutes ( which seemed like ages)he was gone....
He got away with some cash....scared the hell out of everyone here...
no matter how many times you might see a gun on TV, the minute you see one in real life... it scares the FCUK OUT OF YOU!!! no heroes then...

That's crazy...what's this city turning in to?
By the way ironically enough your avatar matches the story
yeah your right , I dont know whats going on with this place...I gotta hand it to the tellers for any bank ..first they gotta take crap from the clients, then they gotta go through this...I use to be a teller a few years ago but I never had to worry about this shit..
Next time you guys go to a teller, we should be a bit more considerate cuz honestly, the pay (in 20's) is not worth this crap...
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE..... THE BANKS BUYing LUNCH! WOOHOO!! what can I say Im easy.....

I was one person behind a in queue at the Royal Bank on Bank & Queen in Ottawa, waiting for my turn... I see a man doing his thing (didn't think anything of it) at one of the tellers, and then leave. The teller that had served the man in question appeared visibly distraught and went hurriedly to another workmate. Immediately, one of the bank employees walks swiftly to the doors and locks them.
We then were told that the bank had just been held up.
There was no visible weapon, in fact I had no idea what was transpiring until it had already happened and the perpetrator had fled the scene. We waited around for the police and everyone who had been waiting in queue gave their statements.
Quite an experience, nonetheless. Something not to be forgotten... Hope you're not too shaken by the whole ordeal.
