No Cash At Night Spurs Oil Station Crime Strategy
Rising crime drives Standard Oil of California to ban money at night at 450 company stations in seven Western states. From 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. only credit cards or exact cash are accepted, with money deposited in a double-locked safe. The plan, now in use in Washington DC and pushed by several oil firms, aims to reduce robberies, improving safety while dealers are urged to adopt it.
