Business needs to go cashless, electronic payments is the key, upgrade the banking system and u will see all the robbers disappear. If they know they not getting cash they will find work to do .
How about putting a powerful explosive device in registers and gleefully hand it to the robbers.
Good suggestion but that will not stop robberies.
You can just control robberies you cannot stop it, its like drugs, unstoppable.
What also need to be done is free up firearm licenses to more business people.
Its a different situation when another barrel is pointed at you.
Business owners need to defend their own businesses and themselves and families in these times, how can someone or a group be allowed to just pass through with a gun and collect your hard earned money and valuables without a hassle and then nothing is being done.
Why don’t these robbers just start their own business. I’m sure they can think of something to sell – Tshirts, drinks? They might be surprised they become successful the right way.
