welcome to the war zone

Well, once again, we have proof as to why Salt Lake is WORSE than any horror story you've ever heard about california. Our drug problem has gotten so bad that people are even robbing hotels... yes, hotels, even the ones that only keep enough cash on hand to make change for the vending machines, in order to score their next hit. Our airport location has already been hit once, and now we have to drop anything larger than a $5 bill prior to graveyard shift, the boss is having to install a multithousand dollar security system, and we just had two employees quit.
Yes... may God damn whoever invented these drugs to the deepest depths of hell.

I was worried that it was your place when I read about it, Smiley.

The micro-till "cure" to me feels like a CBF way for the manglemunch (management) to claim "We're protecting our employees" while actually increasing the risk. I mean:

Whacko Yacko: "Gimme all yer dough!"
Sacrificial Pawn: "Here"
WY: "Wudya mean, three dollars and 13 quarters!"

I think that was GameStoreBoss' rationale behind not having a drop safe or letting me use the locked bank bag that was in the office for that specific purpose. Let them get a big score and they might be less inclined to hurt the workers (of course, if the store were to get robbed, likely the peon on duty would get screamed at for "letting it happen").

Are you going off to war, my Son?

No, just to work in Salt Lake."

better to get screamed at than shot at...

I wouldn't have put it past him to personally blame a peon and trying to get restitution out of them if the cops couldn't catch the perp with the money.
