Less than a hundred dollars, it all depends on the cost of goods sold.

I would have posted sooner, but I got sidetracked because I found out my neighborhood grocery store is closing [serious].

The store owner loses $100 minus the mark up on the groceries.

$30 cash + the purchase cost of goods stolen.

You could also factor in replacement cost of goods stolen and shipping to bring it in.

Due to the extreme mark up of groceries, I would say they are likely to claim around $65.

The cost of the groceries was sunk cost. He lost the $70 he would have made selling it to someone who wasn't paying him with his own money minus the percentage he normally loses due to spoiling or theft.

Guy steals $100 bill out of the cash register and then buys $70 worth of groceries and gets $30 in change. The register is $100 short. better yet...

Man steals $100 bill and leaves and the next customer comes in with a $100 bill and buys $70 worth of groceries...guess what the register is still short $100.

The only answer is the store lost $100

Okay so she stole $100... Got $70 worth of groceries and used the $100 she stole from him to pay for it.

She got $30 back... She exchanged $70 for $70 in groceries.. So the owner lost $100.. However, what is the profit margin on the groceries that was purchased.. If he bought something for $0.50 and was selling it for $1.00.. In reality, he only lost $0.50.

yes he did.

if any one other than the thief bought those groceries, he would get the cost PLUS the markup, which totals $70.

but instead he got $0 because it was already his money.

I don't the gross margin on groceries she bought assuming 10% but I heard grocery stores have really tight margins

So $93?

But you can look at it as him losing the amount that he would have otherwise made off of those groceries.

COGS + $30 + The time it takes him to figure out what happened to the $100 missing from the register.
