I know some bank tellers who say they are taught to comply with ANY robbery instructions. Even if it's as simple as someone slipping them a note saying, "This is a robbery" with no explicit threats. If they feel comfortable, they can slip him the marked bills or dye packs, but they won't be punished if they don't. Get the robber out, lock the door, call the cops.

I could totally see the tellers recognizing the avocado for what it was and figuring it was on the cops to catch him, not theirs.

It seems to have been a fruitful endeavour.

All that risk for the equivalent of a recent model used car.

"...for 32,000$, thus breaking even with the money he initially invested buying avocados to commit the heist".

On a somewhat related note, that Sun Tzu quote reminds me of something he did. Sun Tzu had a rivalry with this other general who he often got into skirmishes with and always defeated him or outmaneuvered him with some kind of trickery. So one time this rival general actually had Sun Tzu on the ropes and had chased him into a bit of a corner. Sun Tzu was in a smallish fort with the enemy general closing in and he definitely did not have enough soldiers to hold the fort for long.

So instead of trying to intimidate his rival with a show of force or making his army seem bigger than it was or whatever else he might have tried instead when his rival arrived at the fort he found the front gate fully open and nobody in sight except Sun Tzu himself sitting on the battlement playing an instrument somewhat akin to a lyre I think.

His rival was so wary of trickery that he assumed it must be a trap, or a distraction while a larger army moves in to reinforce him, so he left and Sun Tzu and his army survived.

Sun Tzu says: if you are strong, appear weak. If you are weak, appear strong.

Damn millennials and their avocado grenades!

Grand Theft Avocado

So you do actually have to be able to defend against an avocado attack before you move on to pointed sticks. TIL.

When avocado guy is caught, he's gonna be TOAST!

Hey! There's been a robbery

She stole my heart and guacamole

If you want to be financially independent, stop buying avocado toast. Use the avocado to hold up a bank instead.

Well, the best way to stop a bad guy with an avocado is a good guy with an avocado.

I hate that i recognize that this quote is actually a screen shot from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2009)

Bet he still loses at poker

If fighting is sure to result in victory you must fight.

"You kidnapped me with a candy bar?!"

"Hey! It wasn't easy! Every time we moved I was worried the wrapper would crinkle and give me away."

The art of robbery.
