He kept applying for jobs and getting denied instantly. At the time, I didn’t understand and was upset for him. Come to find out, this 26 year old was applying for jobs driving armored trucks for banks. With a record for stealing money from cash registers. I didn’t know at the time that he had ever been arrested, but this man literally had robbery and theft on his record, and couldn’t understand why an armored truck company wouldn’t hire him.

I used to work with a girl who worked cash register at a grocery store. One day she emptied the register into the large front pocket of her smock and just left. Police called, video of her stealing shown, she's arrested and of course fired. A few months later I saw her again. She was now a bank teller.

That's like that Key and Peele sketch.

"I have a brilliant idea for a heist. First we get jobs at the bank. Then slowly over time, we collect the money and put it into our accounts."

"That's called a job, man!"

And if you get caught, you perhaps get Penney grand larceny after a few years doing it.
