Nihil Obstat Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I am officially the worst cashier in the entire world. On a five hour shift, with just over $400 in cash transactions, I somehow managed to be six cents less than five dollars short on my float. I never want to work a cash shift again. I had forgotten how bad I am at counting money, considering my only other full cash shift was over two years ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie_M Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 at least it was only 4 cents? (or did i totally read that wrong... ) it could have been worse..... i could have taken over your shift for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 No, it was six cents less than five dollars. $4.94 That's well over 1% of my transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Therese Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 If you have to be short, 4.94 is a pretty negligible sum. No worries. I do know that it is annoying to wonder how you could come up short, but seriously, let this one go. Take a deep breath and have something alcoholic. It'll be OK.

Luckily I almost never work cash, so this may never happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had way too many of them, including a gum graft at one point. Believe me, that really sucked. So I sympathize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcts Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I work at a certain department store that shall not be named *coughsearscough* and the one time I closed, we were something like 14 dollars off and i thought that was a HUGE problem, but the ladies in the office said that that was on the low end of the differences for the hardware department.

Turned the corner in the afternoon day before yesterday, I think. Next step is eating regular meals instead of soft food only. I do like my KD and scrambled eggs though.
