guarding the cashbox isn't so bad because they have to do the same for the merchandise.

  No one ever got killed guarding a pin terminal.

    No, because you'll get robbed without ever knowing it (see Target or any number of other large POS hacks).

      Sure, but the skimmers target the consumers, not the company. Having a lot of cash for places like Home Depot and so on is a real problem. It also enables all kinds of fraud and embezzlement.

        Target registered $252 million in expenses for the breach. Insurance covered $90 million or so, but either way that would add up to a lot of robberies.

          Pretty sloppy processes if that went on for so long and they didn't notice.
