"I think I'll go with the first gas station."
I start writing down everything I noticed about the location and how I think I should handle each point.
1. Only one entrance and exit from the parking lot. (Block entrance, use employee exit.)
2. Centrally located counter with 2 registers. Should only have one employee later tonight. (Check for additional employees in the back rooms and secure them with my Civi-Cuffs. Move any employees in the main store to the back as well.)
3. Drink and food stations off to the left. (I'll just yoink them.)
4. Fridges and shelves to the right. (Will need time to unbolt the fridges. Maybe add power tools to my multi tool.)
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
5. Safe location? (Will probably be by the cash registers, I'll just unbolt and steal the entire thing.)
6. Building ac unit. Optional (will find a way to take it if nothing goes wrong)
7. Armored truck comes in the morning. (Have to do the robbery in the evening.)
I finish the list and start writing on a new page.
1. One entrance and exit. How to prepare?
A. Grab a few cones or traffic barrels, block off the entrance with them and keep them there. (Has the chance of drawing attention)
B. Do nothing with the entrance. (There is a chance of random interference)
I'll probably go with option A. If I get a sheet of plywood to block the door it'll look like construction is happening. For the exit I can just use the employee door in the back.
I add that to my paper and move on to the next item on the list.
