It might a cheap store, but think about it....big stores make "drops" from their tills all day long, so registers won't have alot of money in them. Dollar stores probably don't do that, therefore, until that cashier takes her till in the back and counts it out and makes their "drop", all the money during her work hours is still in her cash register. That makes robbers steal. They might a few hundred out of the deal. A few hundred can help them out for a few more days without having to look for a job. That money could be spent to re-up on the drugs they need to buy and resell or it could pay their child support for their 5 kids, so that keeps them out of jail another week. It could be paying for their own crack habit, which then, would mean that they would be back at it again robbing some other store tomorrow. You'd be surprised how much junkies pay out everyday for their drugs.
