Those stores need more and better video cameras to help protect the workers. That would help. My son works at one of those stores and I do worry about it.

They should have just gone to Target and taken what they wanted. No worry of getting stopped there.

I almost think some of these businesses that seem to be targets for robberies would be better off closing earlier at night. A cost or risk analysis might reveal they wouldn't really lose money by closing a bit earlier. I know there isn't a proven way to prevent robbery attempts 100%, but there are always ways to make things safer for the employees and customers.
