Yeah no. I worked in a restaurant. There was one camera directly on both tills. One camera indirectly on each till. One camera directly in the main queue area and multiple indirectly on the main queue and otherwise covering the remainder of the lobby from multiple angles.
Edit: This is just the front of house stuff. The back of house had it's own complement which I won't detail here for obvious reasons.
I have worked in restaurants as well. Restaurants are not considered retail points of sale. The primary difference from an accounting perspective is till assignment. Again, your one experience at is not representative of the world as a whole.
You can also look around any time you go inside a Target or Walmart and see plenty of camera's, plus sometimes some displays showing that there are cameras.
Edit: In addition, we had till assignment at that location. However, there were at least 2 people there at all times who could open the till (Shift lead + assignee), and there was usually more (Managers, other shift leads who were still on shift).
You notice you shift ground when your comments are challenged? I also enjoy how a thread a about police and cameras turns into everybody suddenly becoming an expert on retail, accounting, and security because they have been in a store before or once worked a minimum wage job and yet have absolutely no idea how the money is handled.
> You notice you shift ground when your comments are challenged?
No?
Employees are in the store, and are put under surveillancece along with everyone else.
> yet have absolutely no idea how the money is handled.
No, I definitely know how the money is handled at the restaurant I was at. I don't know the figures for the one individual, but I know how it's handled in general.
If you'd like to email me (it's in my bio) than I can give a run down, but I'm not going to detail something like that in a public forum.
Edit:

I'm not claiming to be an expert. You claimed "There aren’t that many cameras in Texas"
I provided evidence you were wrong. That is all I've done in this thread.
Edit 2: Edit 1 not quite accurate. I also provided an anecdote about what happened to/with a coworker.
