Who leaves $1,000 overnight in a cash register? Sounds a lot like a "we was robbed, so let's claim there was some money stolen also" kind of stunt.
ReplyDeleteYeah, signage will do it.
ReplyDeleteIf I were a burglar and saw a keep out sign I'd keep on walking. Just like the gun free zone signs keep the mentally deranged from shooting innocent people. Or maybe they just don't know how to read.
ReplyDeleteSalmon ? WTF ?

DeleteMust be an upper class ball field. Around here we make do with catfish.
DeleteI buy all my Salmon from a concession stand!
DeleteMy parents were just simple working class people. My dad was a foundry worker, and my mom did everything from nailing pallets by hand to cooking in a restaurant. They bought a resaurant from friends, by signing their names onto a whole lot of loans.
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant was my very small hometown, but was at a cross roads in Michigan that took people nearly everywhere. So the often grossed over 300 K per year, in that small place.
But finding decent help was the real trick. The once caught one of their cooks stealing T Bone steaks from their freezer and putting them into her trunk, out the back door. She had been doing it for some time, according to their inventory. My dad fired her on the spot, of course, but they didn't press any charges, as was normal for a small town.
Within 3-4 months, I think, she was back cooking for them. I was dumbfounded, asked them about it. They told me, that they just couldn't get anyone else to do it. I never heard that they had any more problems with her stealing from them, so either they did not have a problem, or didn't catch her, or just did not publicize it.
The left money for the next morning in the till, overnight, but the amount that I seem to remember was 180$, in bills and change. Enough that it would suck if you lost it, but it would cost more to repair the damage done for the criminals to break in, given how they secured the place at night.
I have a lot of fun stories of that place, from an old guy hitting the gas instead of the brake, and driving through the wall, with nobody getting hurt, to a fryer malfunctioning, and me being the only one around, and going up and pulling the fire extinguisher system, and the entire kitchen getting flooded with that white powder, over every fryer, grill, and stove in the place. I got smoke inhalation, and had to spend the night in the emergency room, getting breathing treatments, and the insurance company paid the lost financial receipts for the place, plus all of the employees lost wages, plus they paid all of the employees to clean the kitchen and wash every single plate, cup, fork,knife and spoon, etc. They were down almost a week, and didn't lose a dime. Oh, the insurance company paid my lost wages for the night as well.
Insurance seems to be a pain in the ass when it is so expensive, but when you have a claim and they are that good, and don't even bat an eye, it makes it much easier to take.
