Lol $17 & your probably right! I often wonder why the heb or the bank inside hasnt been robbed (well other than inside jobs lol) I've watched the cashiers from heb go to turn their till in & stop to visit with the folks at the bank all while holding that till on their hip! Would be very easy to just rip the whole till away from them! Before anyone knew what happened the thief would be gone! Ive also noticed that sometimes it gets congested in that little area back in the corner with bank customers & heb employees! Seems like it would be easy to reach into a till and grab some quick spending money! They are so busy talking that they wouldnt even notice it! The bank is just as bad! They are always socializing back there they hardly pay attention to the customers! Before you say anything: NO i am not suggesting someone rob anyone!! This train of thought comes from having to stand in long non-moving lines at the bank and just being observant! Maybe more security measures are in order!
