. So why does just about every major business in this country...
...tell it's employees to cooperate in a robbery. It's becoming rare to even see an armed guard in a bank, even one's that have been subjected to multiple robberies.

Firstly, very few businesses give a shit if something bad happens to their minimum wage clerk behind the counter. So rather than risk a policy that allows them to be armed, and risk them doing something stupid with a gun and harming their business, they would rather that their employees not be armed, and if something bad happens, well just cooperate because you have no other choice.

But the main reason that you don't see armed guards in many places is that there simply isn't enough to steal to harm the business' bottom line. Many places have time-delay safes so you can't harm the business' profits through armed robbery. You might get a couple of hundred bucks from the register but that's about it.

But you look at armored car drivers delivering cash - they sure as shit are armed. That's because there is the potential for some serious loss, so they want that shit protected.

The bottom line: employees are disposable.
