Ugh! Cheated of coins at Burger King!

Yeah. And one time they gave me a stuffed pony.

Hopefully it was the right colour, pink or purple! :devil:

 

I guess it depends, if no one is looking, pocket the overage, who's going to know? I worked with a guy who knew every combination including taxes, every 2 or 3 customers he'd charge them for the drink but not ring it up, so at the end of his shift, he was always over 30-60 dollars that wasn't recorded. Smart guy, I'm sure he's a CEO somewhere now..

According to the FLSA though (since I'm now curious and it's likely changed since I was a cashier), it seems to only apply to minimum wage employees running a cash register.

In my cashier days, I was getting paid more than minimum wage. Hmmm...

 

No, It was Trixie.

"TrixiePlush Pony appearance: brown Paint horse; produced for holidays 2005.Trixie was a Paint breed horse whose job was pulling the Wells Fargo wagon in her hometown of Ardmore, Oklahoma Territory. She was acquired by Wells Fargo in 1918 for $150."

 

She saved you carrying 89 cents, be happy.

 

Oh how I wish there was no BK, no McD's, no KFC, no Arbys, and no Wendy's in this town. I bet the average BMI would drop by 20% or more. :thumb:

(and we're actually a relatively fit town compared to many others)

 

I think she's hittin' on ya........:devil:

 

I'm sure she does, but just remember: This is a family friendly forum!

 

Maybe I'll go back today and ask exactly what she's got for me. Depending on what she says, I'll post the answer here.

 

Hopefully nothing antibiotics can't cure. :devil:

 

Maybe in Florida, but most states, I've never heard of such a law.

Cashiers are responsible for their tills, and any shortages; usually over $5, can be collected by the business, from the cashier.

Consistent shortages of a till can be grounds for termination.

 

Takes a liking to you but keeps the goodies in her drawer. Hmmmm.....

 

I'm new to Florida, but according to Rhode Island law, no employer can force an employee to pay for drawer shortages and an employee cannot volunteer to pay for those shortages, either. There is nothing in the law that prohibits punishment such as termination for those shortages, though.

 

I don't know the state law on the matter, but that's how it worked way back when I worked at Hardees here in Montana. If you were more than $1 over or under, you got a mild reprimand. If you were more than $5 over or under, you got a stern reprimand and it was documented for possible punishment/temination if it happened too frequently. If you were spot on, you got a coupon for a free ice cream cone.

What I sometimes wonder is how it works at restaurants when someone doesn't pay their bill. I'm hesitant to put "Dine and Dash" on my bucket list because I'd hate for the wait staff to have to pay for my meal. But I do think the later you do it in life the better. Can you imagine a 70+ year old couple eating a meal at the Olive Garden and then making a run for it? :too-funny:
