PLEASE take this story as a word of CAUTION, not to scare you off on the venture......
Some 35 years ago, in a burb outside Wash DC, an old friend owned Bish Thompson's restaurant and bar, and expanded it to cover a small strip mall it was on the main drag with parking behind....Billy inherited it from his Father, Bish.....but kept the name as he grew the business
He hired one of his buddies as a night manager who closed the joint at 1-2 AM each night.....and took the carry bag across the street into the bank night depository......which habit got him kill outright for the some 60 grand, yes 60 grand of deposits, much of which was CASH, and a few CC charges.....
don't forget, this was before plastic money and Mag stripes.....so all based on paper.....or metal......
So the bastards just blew him straight away, and stole the days receipts.....
just watch your ass, please.......damnit.......
