A fairly new cashier seems to have some chronic cash handling issues.
Generally it's fairly minor, but a few weeks ago... $100 short. Demoted to bagger for a week.
I'm going to point out that she doesn't have a car only to show why I was in the cash office when this happened - I was going to give her a ride home. After I finished my shift, I clocked out, and went back into the cash office while she was counted (technically it's against store policy for me to be in there off the clock, but I was just waiting and BSing with the FES).
Oops... she's almost $100 short. Again. She's still considered a new hire and not a full employee as well.
FES wisely refused to answer one way or the other when she asked if she would get fired over this (she probably will), instead just said that it's up to the dept manager and that he's very fair and unbiased (truth). Then the cashier offered to pull $100 of her own money out and put it in the till. FES just asked if she was trying to get him fired.
The store manager even wound up opening the safe that supervisors use for drops so the FES could count her drop. It was fine. It was such an odd amount that I'm betting she got a $10 for something, keyed in $100, and made change based on what the register said instead of pausing 2 seconds to think "wait, this was a small purchase, with a $10, why am I handing them over $90?".
Company policy says that in this particular scenario, assuming it's NOT a new hire, the cashier is to be demoted to bagger for a year, since this will be her second cash handling writeup. But that's all out the window since she's still considered a new hire.
As a person, she's alright, still very much in the party nonstop teenage mindset though. As a coworker she's okay, but she keeps screwing up with money in rather large ways. I wish her luck though, she's gonna need it.
