Even bank robber gets a service fee

Banks are always charging fees. Even, apparently, to people who are trying to rob them.

Christopher Emmorey, 23, discovered that the hard way when he walked into the Royal Bank on George Street March 22 demanding that the teller give him $5,000 and telling her he had a gun in his pocket.

The fiscally responsible teller told Emmorey she could only give him $200, and told Emmorey there would be a $5 transaction fee because Emmorey was not a client at the bank.

Emmorey pleaded guilty yesterday in Ontario Court of Justice to the robbery plus breaching his probation.


Crown attorney Brian Gilkinson said Emmorey waited patiently as the teller filled out the appropriate paper work before running out of the bank with $195.

By that time, other bank tellers were alerted to the ongoing robbery.

Emmorey wasn't wearing a disguise and his videotaped image was recognized by police officers who responded to the call.

Heh, too funny
"Give me all of the money"
"Do you have an account?"
"No, but I have a gun, give me all the money in your drawer"
"Well, since you don't have an account there will be a five dollar service charge for this transaction."

That teller either had "way large sac" or was blonde...
