me: That is why we have chosen NOT to use the die packs.
They are not SUPPOSED to explode until AFTER the robber
leaves the banking facility, but they are prone to malfunction.
There is not enough money in any bank to compensate for
the loss of a teller's life.   We use "bait" money. This consists
of a normal looking pack of $20 bills banded with a $500.00
strap.  The serial numbers of these bills are recorded and on
file.  The bait money is restrapped and dated on a regular basis
so the savvy robber doesn't just get rid of a strap of bills with an
old date stamp.  The teller is instructed to keep this money in 
their cash drawer at the bottom of the stack of $20's and to 
only give it out in the event of a robbery. 

Our tellers have been trained to do WHATEVER the robber
requests. Give them the money and let them get out of
the bank quickly with no harm to employees or customers.
This is not the time to be a hero.

me: I hope this was a typo, Bro. Tyler.  I wouldn't wish something 
like this on ANYBODY.
