I support POS systems now and routinely I deal with business owners and upper-management (even of some large companies) as well as low level employees and site managers. One thing that ceases to amaze me is that some of these people, especially owners, have NO idea how run a business.
Perfect example, shortages and overages. While discrepancies with credit cards are fairly easy to track down, cash ones are nearly impossible but if you know an exact amount I can narrow it down (99% of the time user-education is needed).
(and yes, I always make the disclaimer that I am not a CPA or accountant but only tech support)
But there are a few sites, that are worse than that. They don't know how much money is missing, just know money is missing (or "about $50").
Seriously, if you don't know how much money is missing how can I even begin to see if someone made an error with their system?
Let alone, a BUSINESS OWNER clearly has little knowledge about their own finances? I guess I'll see your license # under someone else's name in a year.
