I remember when I was a kid, and the local bank would leave its safe open to show you how thick the door was, so you'd feel safe about leaving your money there. I used to walk over and check it out. Of course, I lived in a very boring city that wasn't blessed by diversity, which is our strength because we are a nation of immigrants going forward together for the children, and sustainable fish. Bullet-proof glass- this is much better- isn't it??

I wonder if the bullet proof glass was installed to protect the black customers from the white shooters ..../s

I have often contemplated how my life would be degraded if all the "diversity" that surrounds me were to automagically disappear overnight.
Yeah, will get back to this thread and post when I can think of even one, single, solitary thing.

This is not new. I saw a lot of this when I lived in the area 25+ yrs. ago.

Back in the early 1980s when travelling from Michigan State University to my home in St. Clair Shores on weekends (with a present of dirty laundry for my mon,) I would stop at the White Castle on 8 Mile and Woodward for a sack of sliders, because there were no White Castles in the Lansing area.

That White Castle had the same bullet proof plexiglass on the counter, and a plexiglass Lazy Susan to get your food.

just an observation...the door on the left is wood.

A couple of rounds properly placed and it would be open pretty quick.

Note to travelers...
Never stay in a motel where the clerk is behind
2” thick ballistic glass.
It’s just not a good idea.

Ordering a meal at Jim Dandy Fried Chicken on Vermont Ave. in South-Central Los Angeles is like doing business at some banks. The cashiers sit behind a heavy bullet-proof glass window, and you make your payment by placing it in a box that slides through a metal chute. The box comes back with your change and later with your order.

Nonetheless, the chicken is far better than what you get at KFC.
