    They should have an armed security guard there, esp., so close to BART.

    Why was that so easy? Are there not procedures?

    It’s not safe inside. That’s where all that money is. Always use the ATM and take your terrier. It’s common sense.

    Was he greeted at the door? I always like it when a corporate malefactor, such as my bank, has an employee greet me at the door with a smile. I have seldom been at a Walmart, but it always warms the cockels of my heart to receive a corporate greeting at the door. I am simple in that respect. However, I do regret how his request for an unauthorized withdrawal was treated. That was also treated with a corporate smile and, as always, attention to the bottom line. The company lawyers know that there’s always more money where that came from. It came from me. It came from you.

    I’ve felt more threatened by the seniors rushing for the sugar packets at the coffee bar.

      I hope I am not out of line, but don’t you mean, “we seniors”.
