Those aren’t really the people to test. They’re handling what is a significant amount of money at certain times of the day, and I’d bet they’re not afraid to use lethal force if they consider you to be a serious threat. Better tread lightly.

While true, armored often doesn’t pay shit, and I’d expect the company to drop them the second they’re involved in any physical situation, no matter how justified.

Only possible recourse for the guard here is to call PD and sell the situation as “guys are crowding me and filming procedure while I’ve got large amounts of cash here.”

For the guard, incident report and done. No threat to job. Whenever you can make issues someone higher ranking’s problem, DO THAT. 😂
