Question

Accepted Answer

I would steal from the bakery because it is likely to have cash on hand and valuable equipment.

Bakeries often have cash on hand from daily sales.
Bakeries may have valuable equipment like ovens or mixers.
Flower shops may not have much cash and chandeliers shops may have high security measures.

Accepted Answer

Main aim was to determine the thought process and justification for the same.

I asked for further clarifications on manpower I have for robbery and about the infrastructure for the same like vehicles etc.

He said I am the only person and I have a car with me to take the robbed items.

The answer was Bakery shop and he was convinced with the same because Flower shop can be easily eliminated as the inventory which I said is perishable and I may not be converted into cash easily.

Regarding Chandeliers shop the lighting fixtures are heavy to carry and typically the buyers are high income group it will be difficult to realize value from the inventory, moreover cash register of Chandeliers shop will not have much cash as the sale value is very high and the buyers would make card transactions.

Bakery is ideal choice among the given alternatives because the inventories can be easily converted/exchanged for cash, easy to carry and cash register will have liquid cash.

Based on the justifications interviewer was satisfied.

If you are a thief and you have an option which shop will you steal? Why? 1) Chandeliers shop. 2) Flower shop 3) Bakery.
