""When I was in college, I worked at a large-ish grocery store as a cashier and then a night packer. The front-of-store day supervisor, who'd worked there for a decade, got caught stealing over $100k from the various cash registers. All the cashiers used to have to count their float to ensure it balanced at the end of their shift, and then recount it to make sure they were correct. What she used to do was palm small bills so the tills were slightly out, but it didn't get noticed.""
""I worked for a guy who was very entrepreneurial but very stubborn. At one point, he realized he had about $2 million in assets, including his house, and I said, 'Hey, you should retire; you're already 55, so enjoy it.' Nope. Dude sunk all of his money into a new venture instead. It was an arcade.""
Multiple real-life incidents show how non-substance choices and actions destroyed stability and safety. A 55-year-old with about $2 million in assets reinvested everything into a new arcade venture instead of retiring, risking his retirement security. A decades-long grocery front-of-store supervisor embezzled over $100,000 by palming small bills and manipulating till counts, and also sabotaged cashiers by removing larger notes to get them fired; she was eventually caught after attempting to frame a colleague. A driver witnessed a baby-faced young man holding a pistol over a woman's body in a fast-food parking lot while a child sat in the backseat.
