My ex had a job managing a small retail business that closed at midnight,,,
Her district manager insisted she (or whoever closed) make a night deposit.

The bank the company used was not in the best part of town.

I wrote to corporate headquarters about that practice,,,
I even took pictures of the seedy night time environment,,,
They still insisted that the night's cash could not be left in the store safe.

So I always picked her up at the store and escorted her to the deposit box,,,
I would exit the car and give the area a good scan for problems,,,
Then she would get out and use the key to make the deposit,,,
On several occasions a person would walk towards us,,,
A six-cell MagLight in their eyes always worked,,,
Never needed to present the .357 I carried.

I did tell her district manager that if she ever got hurt,,,
Don't bother coming to the hospital,,,
Just leave town, quickly.

I was a much more volatile person back then,,,
I'm very mellow in my old age.
