The policy isn't to save corporations money. It's to make the store safer for employees. The busier the store is the more attractive it is to robbers that know lax management will have too much money on hand. 25% of the time I'm in a convenience store one of the employees is either making a cash drop or removing rolled coins from a timed safe dispenser.
This policy also stops insider robbery schemes. To give someone the benefit of doubt just because they were busy is poor upper management. Safety precautions are most needed when busy. If she wasn't pregnant this would be a non-story. So in effect she want's special treatment, waiver of safety polices, because she's pregnant? Less time on her feet, more bathroom breaks, etc is one type of concession, safety is another.
Fast forward to two weeks from now when a different employee makes the same mistake how do you deal with this person without discriminating?
As far as "knowing everything" I once owned retail stores, some taking in a lot of cash. Damn right we had safety policies and it wasn't because the money wasn't insured. It was because the insurance companies and common sense demanded it.
