<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8155901, member: 100459&quot;]Back in the early 70&#039;s, I worked in a convenience store.&nbsp; At the end of our shift, we would count the cash in the drawer and compare it to the cash register tape to see if we were over or short.&nbsp; I was very meticulous about counting the money I was given after each sale.&nbsp; Very seldom was I over or short.&nbsp; There was no cup for extra change in those days.&nbsp; If you were short or over too many times, you would be asked to find work somewhere else.&nbsp; There was one incident where a store was also dollars short.&nbsp; How we caught it was when we saw a &quot;paid out slip&quot; (Paid Out Slips were those records when a customer wanted a refund and they would fill out a slip to be counted to balance the cash register.)&nbsp; I was working in the home office and I supervised 10 accounting clerks.&nbsp; The accounting clerks would check documents that stores were sent in and they were compared to the deposits.)&nbsp; We didn&#039;t have computers then.&nbsp; Anyway, I worked with the accounting clerk and we found and abundant amount of the paid out slips that over a month, accounted for $100 or more.&nbsp; This was a police officer working part time for us.&nbsp; Employees signed an agreement to have a lie detector test.&nbsp; As a police officer, he probably felt he could fool the lie detector.&nbsp; Well, he didn&#039;t.&nbsp; My boss called his boss and they decided to watch him the next week.&nbsp; As you can imagine, he got caught in the act and was arrested.&nbsp; It goes to show you that even small amounts of coins can temp you sometimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
