I would answer the request for change with a simple "Sorry, but the register is programmed a certain way, and I cannot override its program nor do I make the rules for how it is to be programmed" and leave it at that.
Even if you said it, the customer will still not listen!

It is a "safety" issue only for the business because they do not trust cashiers to be honest with the til. The restricted access to the cash drawer is so the register will have a record of everything the cashier did and how much money should be in the drawer at the end of the day.Quoth Hon'ya-chan View PostMe: "No, it's a safety issue."
As far as the risk of someone reaching over to grab money out of the drawer while the cashier is making change, that also is a ruse made up to make the cashier feel she/he is being trusted because the drawer is just as vulnerable to a snatch when the cashier is making change for a purchase. A thief easily could fake the purchase just to get the drawer open.

If the register is opened for change purposes, someone could potentially reach over and grab the cash drawer or anything in it.

What am I missing here? How is opening a register a safety issue? If this woman bought something for $24.99 and gave you $30, wouldn't you have had to open the register to make change for her? Is that still considered a safety issue?

Safety Issue = Ridiculous in SC mind
A customer comes up to the register, and asks for change. I tell her that I can't open the register unless she makes a cash purchase. Simple enough right?
SC: "You can't open the register? That's Ridiculous!"
Me: "No, it's a safety issue."
She leaves pissed, walking to another store to get change.Tags: None
