No, because you'll get robbed without ever knowing it (see Target or any number of other large POS hacks).

Sure, but the skimmers target the consumers, not the company. Having a lot of cash for places like Home Depot and so on is a real problem. It also enables all kinds of fraud and embezzlement.

Target registered $252 million in expenses for the breach. Insurance covered $90 million or so, but either way that would add up to a lot of robberies.

Pretty sloppy processes if that went on for so long and they didn't notice.
