Question

How many times can one be over or short on the day's transactions before they're fired?

Answer 1

Check your employee manual.

where I work- one- depends on the situation.Ask yourself this

Are you a good employee? By good I mean following the rules,working diligently, being pleasant.  This means to customers and staff.

You can probably answer that yourself.

Also I would suggest you be careful about how you phrase that if you ask your boss. It sounds like you are planning on skimming the till.

Answer 2

it varies with the job. Also, how much you were over or under.

Answer 3

This question is so funny because it has happened to me a lot. I work at a major supermarket and it's always busy. The very first incident I was short like $80.00 it was a complete mix-up with this older lady, the other incident I was unfortunate enough to come across a fake $100.00 bill. And the other major one I was like $20.00 short and that I cannot explain for nothing..the only thing I could say is they were probably stuck together when I was giving someone change LOL. And just tonight I was SHORT $2.00, and I'm pretty sure it's cause I didn't count my drawer well the night before because I was $2.00 OVER last night...LOL The only reason I believe I'm still there is because all the customers like me cause I know how to deal with ppl. All the other cashiers get into arguments and cuss out the customers like every d**n day! I've only been there in Jan..and I've never even raised my voice to anybody..So I guess that's what saved my *** all this time...Really good customer service skills LMAO!! And just in case ur wondering...they never even bothered to take the money back from me..they said they were just innocent mistakes. I think if u know in ur own mind and heart that u didn't take any money, it'll show through and they will trust and believe you...

Answer 4

Depends on the job. My last job, a lady was always over or under on a daily basis. Sometimes it was $.50 and other times it would be $20.00.

She never got fired. I'd say it depends on who you know, because that was her case...friends with the one in charge.
