The $75 limit is a robbery deterrent that limits the typical “score” to $40-50 and helps drive criminals elsewhere.
Keeping more than that in the drawer needlessly puts every cashier in that store at risk.
This guy knew the policy and understood what it was for, but he took a gamble that it would never happen to him. He lost.

What rock did you just crawl out from under?
I am involved with a local bar/package store and I'm curious how if somebody purchased a 6pack with a hundred dollar bill you would be able to make change without showing where the real money was? This happens all the time if you worked for me with that mentality you would also be looking for another job!
There is no difference in a threat from a would be criminal no matter how much cash is in the drawer and if your busy would you have a cashier deal with extra cash in front of customers of when they are alone?

You are correct (along with a couple more reasons). My job/company has a similar policy for similar reasons. The policy is in place for a reason not just to add more pages to the employee handbook.
