There was a time when this was good advice, it has long since passed.

WHEN was this ever good advice? Do tell.

I worked an all night gas station (literally the ONLY thing in town open 24/7) in Brownwood, Texas in 69/70, I was 14/15. Got robbed 3 times in 2 years.

The boss put an old POS .32 in the drawer under the register and when the third robber found that he spazed out, just knew I was gonna die. He left without the money he was so scared.

I told the boss I would help them load everything in that station before I'd try to stop them @ $1.50 an hour.
