Because teller is an idiot for not read on the note in first place.
Still, how long does it take to read a note? 5 seconds?Maybe the bank was right next door to the station?
Deaf customer hands note to teller.
Teller pushes "help" button without reading note.
Police arrive, assess situation.
Question:
From the time the teller hit the button until the police arrived, the teller never read the note? The teller and the customer just stood there waiting until the police showed up? It doesn't make sense.

My thought exactly. This specific story sounds ridiculous. I can see how the teller would have panicked and pressed the button, but then when no guns or other threatening weapons are produced by this so-called "robber", nobody takes a moment to read the note ?? :roll:
Anyways, I was just at the bank drive-thru yesterday. It's a large bank with a large row of drive-thru stations, so I cannot even see the window, let alone the teller. And they seem so super-friendly by the way they chat through the intercom as I drop off my deposit, yet I can't lipread them from far away. So yesterday I took a moment to write on a piece of paper that I was deaf and that I did not mean to ignore them. She wrote back on the same paper that she had figured that out, and for me to have a nice day. It was nice of her, but never occurred to me that they might not want to see notes. I suppose the drive-thru is a different story (the thought of me brandishing a gun from my car strikes me funny.)[/QUOTE]
I have been in this situation before. I had the note and I also spoke with teller. I told her upfront that I was deaf and had a note for what I needed to do. (It was about 5 different things I needed including Traveler's Checks) She freaked out and hit the button. Police came. While waiting for the police, the head teller and manager came up and asked what was up. I explained and had teller show them the note. They were upset that she did not even read the note first. They explained to police that it was a bank error and that the staff would be further trained. Since then, I get all the bad looks and such, so that I closed the account and went with another bank.
