Just wondering cause a guy at my work was short like 7 cents? I told him if he was 5 cents short it would be OK? But 7 cents seems too much? What do you think? How short on change is the customer allowed to be for you to still sell them what they are trying to buy?
Sometimes where I work customers say they don’t want the 1p or 2p change so the cashier will take it out of the till and just put it on the side so their till isn’t wrong when it gets checked. If a customer is short by an amount smaller than what’s on the side of the till, I’ll sell it to them and just put the money on the side back in the till. Otherwise I’m not selling even if they’re 1p short.
You claim to be a law student in your profile description? Is that outdated
I have a part time job as well as being a student. My student loan is just over £4000 a year and that is supposed to cover rent, food and all other things but it is nowhere near enough so I have a job as a cashier as well
As someone who's graduated law school with summa I can testify that the study&work schedule is not applicable to legal studies, if one takes them serioisly.. Don't you have parents to cover costs for you? And if yoi are so pressed to the wall, shall a law student not get some more intellectual gig, such as in an office or library.. Also, are you still 18 as you claim or that's outdated?
Sucks to be him. An accurate till is important for cadhiers. One job I had if your off by 2 bucks its a write up. Measly 2 bucks
i work at the circle k and il usually let you slide to about 80 cents because when people say keep the change i leave it in the till to help people who are short however if the customer is one of the regulars who i know il let them slide up to about 1.50 however. if some asshole comes in il not let even a penny slide
I don't know cant say I've worked in a shop but it all depends if they are short I probably won't sell it.
Good I'm not selling anything to have to go through such a moral dilemma. Though occasionally there are similar issues. Today a visitor asked for details I had no access at the moment and she didn't want to stay waiting. Makes sense since visitors are not allowed in the premises and are made stay out in the cold where employees go to meet them. So she gave me her phone number and asked me to call her later and give her the info she wanted. Good, but it's a mobile phone and from my work-provided one I can call only landlines. So shall I spend a minute of my limited mobile traffic? I'm still hesitating. Found her on message app and send her what she wanted, buy so far no reply of confirmation..
When I used to be a cashier at the old Target location I worked at, I'd just let up to 20 cents slide. The managers never got involved in till amounts unless it was more than 10 dollars short or 10 dollars over. I have no idea how it works at the current Target location I work at since I haven't done cashier work since 2017.
If it's less than 50 cents I don't usually care, up to a dollar if they play the sympathy card
