except the guy behind me may pick up the money.
Way back in the day, I ran a cash register.
There would people that would crash thru the line with one item, give me the money and leave.
Seems like they were in cahoots with management that was trying to check cashiers that would just pocket the money.
My register was over the exact amount and they were trying to say I was going to take it at the end of my shift.
Didn’t stick, but I did learn a valuable lesson that day.
“Seems like they were in cahoots with management that was trying to check cashiers that would just pocket the money.”
A lot of companies use shopping services, some in the company and some outside, to try to get something on the cashiers like you mentioned. Many companies try to us these people to try to see if shoplifting or changing tags is being done so they can reduce their spoilage and keep their employees forced alert.
Funny thing is, many of the companies have stopped doing it as they are getting into more trouble for defamation when trying to encounter a thief or scam artist after they leave the area. They also are walking into an unsafe situation using unarmed amateurs to encounter possible armed criminals. So they wave goodbye as the criminals get into their car and drive away.
I used to teach security to retail outlets in the military and when I retired, I did it for a few companies one being Walmart while I was with them and at the request of the store management.
