Even though the person put the $5 in the register, the mere acceptance in the front end of something otherwise jeopardized their job and resulted in their justly being terminated. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you wanted to accept the trade dollar in payment, you should have advised a manager immediately that the customer was tendering that payment, that you thought it might be a good coin and would like to purchase it from the register. If you took it upon yourself to buy the coin out of the register without someone else's knowledge the presumption is that you are indeed engaging in theft of money and should be terminated. If I caught you doing that, I would have acted in the same fashion, I would have terminated you on the spot. Had you come and explained that the customer tendered said coin in payment, that you would like to purchase it from the register, I would have then approved it and said Hey, it is your lucky day. Even if the thing is counterfeit, it is worth more than $1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
