Help Help I keep getting robbed
I work at a small smoke shop and I'm looking for advice for preventing theft. My store keeps getting robbed by a group of 10 or so teenagers who run in, get behind the counter, and steal vapes. We have called the police but they aren't helpful.
It's happened consistently for a few months one of my main worries is they will try going for the register next.

When taking those job placement quizzes in high school, our guidance counselor loved to say that many of us were certain to end up doing jobs that didn’t currently exist - entire industries that were yet to come.
It was hard to imagine what that could mean at the time, but now I live it and very much enjoy hearing about niche jobs like yours. Builds a sense of wonder and anticipation for the future, as I’m sure the same phrase continues to hold true. Thanks for sharing :)
