Too bad I love s7, but ya that location is pretty shitty. I only went once to that location, and they had signs basically asking please don’t shoplift 🙄 or if you do shoplift only take what you need.

I no tink criminals obey signs.

A thousand dollars in the register at 4am.......

Yep.  A criminal would definitely risk a smash and grab if they knew there was a thousand dollars in the register......

Same as when they say "Don't feed the Trolls"....

Sounds sketchy. What business leaves that much in their register...

blame the victim
nice...

1+1 isn't equaling 2.

Agreed.
My boss at the liquor store where I worked
left me, a minor to run the store( very illegal), while he went to the bank on Fridays
for $1000 to $2000 in cash to carry him through the weekend.
This was pre ATM, but even today there are cash limits.
This was a poor working neighborhood and people would cash their paychecks
so he was acting as a bank. 
The customers had to buy booze, beer, or wine to get a check cashed.

In high school, I was the Monday night manager of an ice cream and dairy retail store -- nights when the regular manager had her day off.

We'd count the receipts and cash, then put everything in the big, honking 1930's safe.  We didn't have the combo.  Only the owner's wife who ran the admin office did.  They'd leave the safe open for the night shift, and we'd be careful not to close it until we left.  There was enough cash in it to make change on a regular night, but some weekends we had to find another local business with extra change who'd help us out after the banks were all closed.

Anyway, after a good weekend, we'd have about $5,000 - $7,000 in the safe.  The admins would count the receipts and cash on Monday and make a deposit.  So if anyone wanted to rob the place, Sunday night would have been the opportune time -- especially during the Summer when we had customers lined up out the door and around the building almost the whole day until just before closing at 10pm.  We sold a lot more than ice cream.  Frozen punch mix with big bottles of Ginger Ale, milk, OJ, eggs, popsicles, push-ups and other fun treats kids love, plus packaged ice cream in pint and quart sizes.  Pretty much anything you buy in the dairy case of a supper market now we sold.

I don't know why anyone would keep $1,000 in a register.  Most stores use a safe or hidden lockbox, and the register is left open after closing so some idiot doesn't destroy it trying to get it open.

When you were in high school, I'm going to assume that was when one could buy a brand new Ford Mustang for $4500.  So that's like having $50K in the safe today.  Today, I wouldn't leave any $ in the register overnight.  And at opening, $200 max.  Maybe even less depending on the flow of morning sales.

To keep thousands in a register over night and not in a safe sounds fishy.  Or just plain dumb. Maybe inside job?  Coincidences do happen. I worked retail and we always left the drawer open over night. But the 1 night that it wasn't left open, is when someone broke in and pried the register open. Only for it to be empty as all the cash was in the safe.

Am I victim shamming, maybe, but that wasn't my intent. But now it is since I'm thinking more about it. It's like the woman who leaves her purse in the car on her seat and post on SSH that someone broke her window and stole her purse.  Unfortunately, SSH doesn't allow vicitm shamming, so you cannot call her a dumbass.  Most of the time the post begin with "I know I shouldn't have left it in the car..."

On a side note, I know of a bar who would empty all the cash at the end of the night and take it to a night drop. They applied for CCW and was told to hire an armored car service for a 4am pickup (closing time).

Yeah, the fact they felt the need for CCW shows they recognized the risks involved in night drops at a bank.  There have been countless stories of people being held up at night drops.  Of course, there have also been stories of employees making up a story about being robbed because their mortgage was late.

Being outside a bank after 11pm putting a bag full of cash in a slot isn't as safe as keeping it in the store until the bank opens if the money is in a drop safe (7-11 type) where any big bills are dropped into it, and the employees can't open it.  Same for any other type of container thats less portable than a night drop bag.

Unrelated story about night drops.  I used to work at a bank, so we would process them in the morning. 1 day a customer complained their deposit was missing. What we found was that it was stuck out of view. I had to stuck my arm up into the dropping down slope from inside the bank. You could not see it from the outside when you open the night drop.   Not only did I find her night deposit (1 bag), but I found 4 more.  It was all for the same company and totaling a few thousand.  What happened was on 2 of the plastic bags, the sticky part that you use to seal the bag shut wasn't done correctly  It was crooked, so when they put the bags down the chute, the sticky portion got caught on the slope and caused other bags to get hung up.

The bags were dated 2 years prior. So IDK if someone lost their job because of this, but nothing was reported missing at our night drop from 2 years ago.  And it's not like it was $200, but few thousand.
