That would be $100 total.
My first answer was $100 but Im rethinking it maybe. He takes the 100 but then you get it back in the till so the register is now squared up, but then you have given him $30 in product so you should have another $30 in the till at this point in the scenario that he hadn't stolen in the first place. So that means you have lost a total of $100 in cash and $30 in product for a total of $130.
Register will be down 100.
The transaction with the 100, according to the register, is valid and true. Register doesn’t care where the money came from so disregard the transaction. But it was missing 100 that he took so it would be down 100.
For the store, you’re still only down 100 because you don’t lose money on a regular transaction, like the one for the merchandise.
$100.00 lol

You gave him the products for free and the $70 in change but the stolen $100 is back in the drawer.

If you look at it this way:
An employee stole a $100 bill out of the cash register at the end of his shift.
Your business is out -$100.
Later that evening, a lady and her 5 kids come in and place an order worth $30. She hands you a $100 bill and you give her back $70. They eat their ice cream and leave.
Your cash register, at the end of the day, will be short -$100.
The next day you find out that the lady is the wife of your soon to be former employee, and he gave her the stolen $100 to go purchase ice cream for the kids.
At this point, your business is still out only -$100.

You are out $70 plus whatever the store's cost for the $30 of product. So maybe $85-90.
If the profit margin is 0% then the answer is $100 loss

Why fixate on the obvious $100? This chap is multi DQ. He bathes in Benjamins. His ass is wiped with C-notes. A hundred bucks is meaningless to him. The human cost is what matters here.
The truth is that it depends on which customer stole the cash. He has a world class surveillance system. So he finds out that:
1) A filthy homeless girl has taken the bill. He confronts her, gives her a job and lifts her out of the gutter. Like Pygmalion or Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. She cleans up well, saves his business and his Dad's life with a defibrillator. They marry and are happy ever after.
2) A POS swipes the cash. Buys a throw away .38 for $70 and comes back to buy $30 bucks worth of burgers. On his way out he robs the DQ, shoots the dad dead and spends the money on meth.
You can't put a figure on love. Nor can you value the cost of loss or outrage. The actual answer lies somewhere between infinitely rewarding and all consumingly tragic.

$100. everyone else is over thinking it.
Still not nearly as bad as the flat earth thread though.
Both have a definitive answer. It's fun to watch everyone squirm though.
