When you only sell for cash, people know there’s cash on hand. Sell with credit cards or debit cards and the place is less likely to have enough to steal.
(Mount a shotgun on a motion detector tracker and have fewer total customers.)
Yes very dangerous, there should be two clerks at all times. Also pay should be top dollar. May God take care of them.
Yes it is very dangerous, there should be 2 clerks at all time, they should get top $ in pay. God please take care of them.
Check the apartments on Lake Dr off Old Chemstrand Rd = Thugs and Druggies reside there and maybe a few, just a few, good people call it home there.
I do recall this happening once before ( same location, same get away…)
It’s so dangerous working at a convenience store.
