I lost a $dollar$ again!

Well You must be careful. I seldom lose money. But once I lost about 0.1 dollar.

I worked as a cashier, once, and we were two people to a register. I ended up getting assigned to a register with one person who had sticky fingers. The first week, it was a dollar, the next $3-4, the next $5-10, and so on. They made it look like I, the new girl, was doing the stealing. It was very frustrating!

I think everyone who's a cashier ends up with short days or days where you've 'made' too much. I never did figure out where the difference went -- maybe off onto the floor, maybe a bad calculation, I don't know.

I'm glad you weren't short too much.

neildc hi I have never worked as a cashier but once I got some money in my favorite grocery store and asked the clerk to break a ten into ones and a twenty into two tens, well she said watch these new bills as they tend to stick together. well I took
a cab home as I had too many groceries to go on the bus. The fare was six dollars so Itook out a five and what I thought was a one, and paid the cabbie and he never batted an eye. the next morning I checked my change as I was going out later and I was missing ten dollars,then i realized a ten had stuckto the one dollar bill so i had paid not six dollars but sixteen, I called the cab company but she refused to do anything as she said I
should have called that morning and i tried to tell her i did not miss the ten until just a few minutes ago but she adamnat. so I was out ten dollars. sevral weeks later Iused the same cab co and when I went to pay the cabbie he said no take care mama then I realized he was the same driver so his conscience must have bothered him.

i act as a cashier in my own business, i don't know if i lost some money on my pocket. LOL. sometimes i am very busy also attending our customers and i am pron not to think how the cash go on. i don't have computerized machine to account all cash entered to my drawer but as far i am concerned i am very careful specially in giving change to the customers.

Well my very dear best. I guess you'll have to be careful next time. Sorry to say this but do try to concentrate on your work next time. Don't do 2 things at a time so this won't happen again. It happened to me last school year, I was the one who is handling the school canteen's earning and when I checked my collections coz I have to turn it over, It doesn't tally with my records. So I have to pay whatever amount it cost.
Keep posting best ENCY! HUGZ!

yes, this happens to me lots of times. sometimes, i am not careful where i place my money and i usually forget where i put it. i will only remember that i lost it when i do my accounting.

Hi Neil,

Many years ago, I used to sell icecream in a cinema and keep over charging so I was never short but over. He he he.

That's too bad. I was once a cashier before(I am not an accountant by the way). And I lost more than a dollar. $5 I think? (it was more than 200 pesos).. It was going to be a change to some of my customer. But, I forgot to lock my drawer and when I checked in the morning, there's nothing left. There are really some people who are born thief.

Hi neildc,

I'm sorry to hear about that...I know how it ruins our day since I have tried that..LOL!
We were assigned before to accept payments of clients and every year, people in charge will always lost like 200p-300p and they will count it several times and will go home disappointed since they will pay it..LOL!

By the following year, My close friend and I volunteered to do it because we were challenge..LOL! first day, it was great, we didn't lose anything but by the second day we lost 30p..We divided it and paid but we are sad about it since we really take care in exchanging the money and all!

No one is perfect indeed and even being extra careful will not work sometimes..LOL!

thyats a bad feelign i accept. i have had experiences even during my school and college days. sometimes when i had to collect on behalf of everyone and then do some purchase i might end up with some money being lost from my pocket.
its hard to digest that. but they have made me more stronger and alert to face life better today.
