A week ago Saturday morning, Nick was working as a clerk at a Phillips 66 gas station in the greater Kansas City area.  It was an extremely busy weekend at the store.

      In any event, a woman came in and filled up two vehicles at a cost of $50 each.  The woman paid with two $50 bills.

     Shortly after the lady paid for her gas, a robber entered the store, stuck a gun in Nick's face and demanded the cash in the drawer.  Nick surrendered a total of $200.

     The store's policy is to never have more than $50 in the open register.  Bills larger than $20 are supposed to be immediately placed in another vault.  According to the clerk, he was in the process of transferring both fifty dollar bills and the extra cash money in the till to the other vault when the robbery occurred.

     Nick has now been fired by Phillips 66 for keeping too much cash in his drawer.  On Monday, we'll discuss whether this is the right result?
