So I am going through training on the
cash register for my new job. Wow. I don't ever want to be behind
the register. I am scared to death of the draconian rigidity of the
terms and rules, and how quickly the slightest slip – like not
having all the bills facing the right direction – can lead to
getting warned and fired.
They work on a system of a written warning, a final warning, and discharge. In terms of being absent or tardy if you are:
So what is included in this? Well with the register you are accountable to balancing your till. If you are a penny off one way or the other 5 times in 30 days its a written warning. Meaning no take a penny leave a penny, and if you're off by more than $5 on any one occasion it is an immediate written warning. This means that you count wrong once, accept a counterfeit bill, whatever... you're on warning. But it gets worse. If within a 30 day period you have 5 instances of any of the below issues:

- missing an EBT slip
- missing voided transaction slip
- miss entering a product code
- improperly filling out a traveler's check
- talking to the cashier next to you
- not asking to go to the bathroom
- coming back even a minute late on a break
- looking at someone the wrong way....... breathing.... ok, so I made that one up.
But really?! You don't place the bills face up and all in the same direction!?!?!? or give someone a penny!?!?! and your in trouble!? Enter the wrong code, give back the wrong change and in trouble you get!!! No sir, not me. Keep me off of that register. My dyslexic, hypoglycemic ass would be done in a week. I mean hypothetically speaking (and keep in mind schedules only come out Wednesday for the next week), if someone is late or sick more than 5 times in 6 months (keep in mind NYC subways, doctors, dentists, kids), and they don't put their bills all face up a few times and then take a counterfeit bill by accident, they're done. No flexibility, only a lashing with the whip. Amazing.
