babysteps Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I placed my first 6 honor boxes yesterday so I am excited to see how they will do. I used the sheridan locator and they are going to locate my ohter 4 boxes too. I do have a few questions and concerns though. 2 of my boxes were placed at waffle houses. And employees in both of the locations pretty much said it may not be a good idea to place the boxes there because their customers like to steal. I figured shortage is a part of owning boxes so I placed them anway and will probably give it a month and see what happens. Another location I placed the box and the guy said last month another lady box of candy got stolen. (Don't think it was a mint honor box). So I am concerned. Has anybody else placed boxes in locations where employees warned them that it may not be a good idea? If so how did it turn out? One more question I put 50 mints in each box would it be best to check the boxes in 2 weeks or 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainor5251 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 i have had several accounts that voiced their concern and have yet to have a box stolen. I did have one with outrageous shrinkage so pulled box. To me its one of those things that come with honor boxes, with the cheap cost of boxes i can't worry myself with losing a box or 2. I have many boxes that empty out 120 mints in 5-8 days, all are very busy restaurants. I would check them in a week and start getting a feel for what they need to last your desired service cycle.

packs179 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I have had multiple people warn me about the boxes being stolen but I have only had 1 stolen and it was from a restaurant on a college campus so it was most likely drunk people. Overall the boxes do very well and you will most likely pay them off within a month of having them out so losing one isn't too bad. Also I would check them after a week because 50 mints can go fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take the employees advice and not leave them there, they will not survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loach33 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I have a box at a Check n Go and also at a "goodwill" type place. You would think those would be terrible for having items taken without paying, right? Nope. 80 pieces a week with about $18 in there every time at the Check n Go. I'm always amazed. You just never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
