I hope they made their getaway in a little blue car-boat like in the picture.
Scuba Steve! Damn you!
Sorry, he spray painted cameras, took off the scuba gear, tied up the employees and left all in under two minutes? That doesn't seem realistic.
- I believe the two minutes is the time he was in the office. He dropped his gear outside, spent two minutes inside securing them and grabbing the cash, then went back out to don his gear.
- Zip ties. Still very fast, but at least plausible.
<3 heists yet live!
Is that an advertisement for scuba diving industry?
So an unarmed guy says to two people, "I taking the cash and tying you up" and they just comply? Unless he was a huge burly guy, there are two of you, one bashes his head while he tries to tie up the other. Sure the money is replaceable, but being tied up means you can't defend yourself against what he could do next.
- Just because he’s not showing me a weapon doesn’t mean he doesn’t have one. Also, I work for Disney. They probably have a policy that says “comply with anyone trying to rob the place,” and even if they didn’t they are insured. None of that money is my money so fuck it.

  This is the reason why. Follow policy and keep your job; violate it and get fired. Also, sounds like they were there just to rob the place - not really much danger unless you resist.
  Let's do the numbers: Say they got away with double the top end amount (so $40,000). Given how much the park makes in a single day, and consider the extra money other parts of Disney make each day. Divide by how much of (just that one restaurant's business) each day is on electronic payments. Carry the one, aaand . . . it's way less than a rounding error.
  
  Fair. I wouldn't car about the cash. But you aren't tying me up without a fight, weapon or not. Unless we prearranged the tie up :)
- You gonna die for the mouse?
  You gonna risk a broken knuckle from punching someone for the mouse?–didn't think so. But you do want to keep your job. So you agree to be subdued.
  
  No, as explained earlier, if you are tied up by an assailant, you are now at their mercy, has 0 to do with work
- inside job
