Episode Title: Internal Asset Protection: Dismantling the Theft Triangle Through Operational Accountability (Episode 102)

Episode Description: "You caused this financial drain because you chose to rely on personal trust rather than operational verification, completely failing to audit the digital footprint that David was leaving behind every single time he stole from the cash register."

In this episode of Survive, Mike Hernandez explains why Assistant Managers must stop trusting their staff blindly and start aggressively auditing point-of-sale data to completely eliminate the opportunity for internal theft.

What You Will Learn:

• Mike's Professional Background: Why a perfectly balanced cash drawer is often the ultimate disguise for an employee actively manipulating the system to steal cash.
• The Digital Anomaly Audit: How to read the point-of-sale reports to track line voids, manual price overrides, and "No Sale" button presses to identify internal theft.
• The Mid-Shift Verification Protocol: Why unannounced cash audits and strict safe drop policies are the strongest physical deterrents against the Theft Triangle.
• The Objective Confrontation: The exact script to use when questioning an employee about a suspicious shift report without making an emotional or unprovable accusation.
