Bank Teller Does 3 Simple Things to Dupe Bank Robber
To all the bank robbers in New Jersey and throughout the country, here’s a guy who’s making the rest of you look bad. Not because he’s a bank robber, but because he’s not too bright.
A would-be bank robber found himself falling for a trick that not only got him arrested for robbing a bank, but was apprehended without anyone in the bank knowing that a robbery was taking place. It all happened because of an amazing bank teller.
According to the New Times, 77-year-old James Timothy Kelly, casually strolled into a PNC Bank branch with big plans and hopes of grabbing some quick and easy cash. Unfortunately for Timmy things didn’t go according to plan. However, they did go as planned for the teller he was attempting to shake down. Kelly confidently approached the teller, brandishing a note demanding money. Then the calm, quick-thinking teller decided to play it cool and pretended not to notice the note. The teller then handed Kelly a bank withdrawal slip instead.
Then the teller cleverly pretended to have some computer issues, so she politely asked Kelly to have a seat. He had no idea that the teller was simply stalling so he obliged and sat down. He was also unaware that the teller alerted law enforcement and they were on their way. He sat there, blissfully ignorant, captured on the bank’s security cameras as the police closed in on the bank.
Responding officers, summoned by the teller’s ingenious ruse, entered the bank from the back entrance, only to find Kelly calmly waiting in the lobby.
Following his arrest and a transfer to the FBI field office, Kelly surprisingly waived his right to remain silent and spilled the beans to agents, confessing to his failed attempt at intimidation and robbery.
Kelly faces the possibility of a maximum 20-year sentence.
4 of the Top Jobs NOT Suited for Millennials To Work
1. Factory Worker
It will be much too boring thanks to the lack of creativity and stimulation. The “tasks are repetitive and strictly defined, leaving no room for experimentation or personal touches.” Some people prefer this kind of job, but not those between 25 and 40 years old.

2. Door-to-Door Sales Rep
Most of the solicitors showing up at my door recently appear to be under the age of 25. That small sample size tells me that Generation Z, as of today, is ok with this gig. However, for Millennials, the salary fluctuates too much month-to-month, which is one of the huge turn-offs.

3. Travel agent or data entry clerk
Most know, including Millenials that these jobs are on their way to being almost obsolete. This is due to technology and very few people not already booking their own vacations online. Data entry is either done automatically or can be done very easily.

4. Coal Miner
Most Millennials are socially conscious and committed to sustainability. They’re looking to reduce their impact on the environment, not add to it. Working in this field would go against what they believe in, plus its really hard work and not really the most healthy choice for an occupation.
