Got Robbed

I was serving a costumer when the robber came in wearing a ski mask, dish gloves, and carrying a plastic bag in his hand. "this is a robery" he yelled and wanted all the money. it was ten to close so one of our machines was already closed down. we pointed to the dye packs, and he took them but one fell apart and he ripped them both to sreads. then he made one of the teller get money out of the machine. he also took some of the marked bills that lay on the floor. he left out the front door, but only after asking for a second exit, which apon complicated intstructions he said never mind and left. i saw no weapon, but others saw a knife in his pocket. no one was hurt. my customers, having run away, came back, and i compeleted their transaction. they and others, inc myself filled out whiteness reports and talked to hot police officers.
