It looks like many stores cut down on robbery opportunities by not having a cash register. They don't give change back, they only give store credit if you don't pay in exact change. That way, they can just put each cash payment in an envelope and drop it into a time-locked safe. (I imagine that they would do that, I don't know for sure.)

What state/country is this in? I think it's an interesting approach but I have never seen any store in the US (or anywhere else for that matter) that takes cash but doesn't give change.

  I've seen it in Europe, but never in the US.
