The possibility of not getting robbed because you have $4000 cash on the till is a damn killer feature. Sure, this would just lead to an evolution in methodology. but for now its worth it.

Safes exist. There's no reason to have $4000 in a till.

Besides, even without cash, you're still going to get robbed. They'll just take merchandise instead of cash.
