By letting the 10 students unload and load the stock, this could be a probable time when some stock may go missing by falling, being misplaced or being stolen if you are not supervising this task. Even trusting all your students to sell items to clients and safeguard stock is quite risky. Your employees could be selling to friends for discount prices, or giving away stock for free.
Trusting employees/wages:
Collecting storing money with all 10 of your employees is a huge risk especially of the employees have only just started the job, haven’t proven trustworthy or are having financial struggles themselves. Giving them the responsibility to hold onto large sums of cash is a serious temptation to any employee, especially if they may not be happy with what they are getting paid.
