Go outside, take a look at the area where you conduct your cash transactions, and take a good look at what someone sees from the outside looking in. Good lighting Proper lighting, both inside your business and outside in the parking area, will help discourage robberies. Clear lines of sight Ensuring clear lines of sight will help you see someone outside casing your premises, and will help passers-by see a robbery that may be in progress inside. Don't cover your windows with marketing materials. Don't pile up crates or boxes in front of windows or in aisles.
Cash controls Think about what a robber wants.
Implement cash control strategies. Advertise that you only have a minimum amount of cash. Make a point of having just enough cash on hand to conduct business. Don't make it easy If you aren't making a sale, don't position yourself at the cash register. Move around the store.
