full bank yet no cars on the parking lot?

When the brothers arrive at the parking lot of Post bank, it is very clear that the parking lot is completely empty. Yet, there were at least 20 people in the bank. There's no way no one would arrive to the bank without a vehicle (small town or not). So, if the brothers saw at least 7-8 cars in front of the building, they would have never decided to proceed with the robbery. Just one small goof I noticed, otherwise one of the better american movies of 2016.

Exactly what I was thinking. I expected the bank to be empty and was suprised when it was full of people.

The area where they parked the Bronco wa snot parking lot, It was a driveway, most likely the exit for the drive=thru. The parking lot was in back and there were clearly cars parked there.

The lot was empty. They clearly parked the truck directly outside the main entrance. You can see it in the background as they enter the bank. And it is waiting for them as they make their hasty exit.

Stand alone banks of this size have only one entrance, by design.

So yes, this (along with a few other scenes) was poorly contrived. Still a really good film overall.
