Who is the owmer of the bar? Manager? If that manaher is not the owner, he stole the 500,000 ￥

I would bet he wasn't just using an ordinary bag, he probably made it very easy for an opportunistic thief to spot.

Why are their salaries being paid in cash? This easily could have been avoided if they did direct deposits like any respectable company.

Sounds like the person who snatched the bag knew when and where already.

There must be merits and demerits paying cash salary, this is one of the demerits. There's a police box at the station square by the way.
