What if the robber did have a gun, and managed to pull it and start shooting? How many people would have been killed? Giving him the money and let him run is much safer.
That's what we told the employee at work, we're insured, don't risk your life.

Yeah but this mentality is flawed, its like having 2 hijackers on an airplane. I'd rather attempt stopping the two hijackers than let them kill a mess of people. The guy in the bank could have had a gun, and if things hit the fan it would be the same mess. 1 brave guy, get a hold on the situation and the rest of the citizens would follow and stop him.
