      A very significant problem here is that this is from the US, where all the notes (bills) look the same (or similar). I don't know of any other country like that. Every denomination is of a different colour and size in the non-US world.

    The retail stores I worked for, we never allowed big bills for anything less than $20. Also once the drawer was closed it was closed. It only was opened again for another sale. If they thought we short changed them they would fill out a form and we would call them if we found extra at shifts end.

    What I teach my cashier (trainees) is to verbally confirm EVERYTHING. "That will be $2.43."
    "Out of $5.00?" (Now open drawer)
    "Your change is $2.57" (Close drawer)
    This helps them remember what bills they took in when someone says they gave a different denomination. Also I want them to be very suspicious of big bills used to pay for small amounts. Double check the change back AND have the customer count it back as well. Once the drawer is opened the cx is not allowed to change the bill or add change. "I'm sorry I am not permitted to do that once the drawer is opened." And once it's closed, it's closed. No reopening for change etc. When in doubt call up the manager on duty. Mind you I followed all these rules and was still scammed out of $20 last month somehow. Just when you think you have it figured out ...

      If you work in the USA your bills are designed to look so much alike that you have to look closely at the numbers. I live in Canada our bills are colored and look different from the others: $1 is a gold coin, $2 is a silver coin with a gold circle in the middle, $5 is blue, $10 is purple, $20 is green, $50 is red, $100 is brown.

    Easy tactic that a lot of places use- don't add/ adjust anything after the drawer is opened. Like these women did, drawer open, give change, close drawer. If they ask about it or want to change something, "sorry, store policy. I can only open my drawer for transactions, we can't make change."

      Stranger Danger it wasn’t too late. The whole scam is you giving him the 100. Basically when you give him the 50 and he gives you the original change back it’s like it never happened. Now you gotta do a new transaction with a different bill. Instead he’s giving the original change back+extra to make it 100 and asks for a 100. There’s no issue until he asks for a 100.
      He buys a 2 dollar drink.
      He gives 50, she gives 48. She’s 2 up.
      She gives 50 back. He’s 48 up.
      He gives 48+2+50(100),she gives him a 100. He’s still 48 up since that transaction was evened out.
      No real problem until that point

    • @12mrcool1
      @12mrcool1 6 ปีที่แล้ว

"what? oh sorry, did you want something?" problem is cashiers don't want to close there drawer if they got to go back in for something. if your confident that you gave the right change (you should be at that point) then need to close first and figure out everything else after ... if someone dont like the way you handle your drawer then tell them they can take it up with the head cashier or manager ...

    Wasn't properly trained about this nor did I expect it to happen. Also, never ever has this came close to happening to me in my 4-year experience as a cashier, so I never expected anything short of a good-hearted customer. Not giving change isn't stressed enough at my store and I was just trying to be a nice guy. Long story short, I costed my company $288. Thank goodness I'm more valuable as an employee than $288 loss (I would like to hope anyway), though! Lesson learned. STRESS TO EMPLOYEES MORE TO NOT GIVE CHANGE.

  • @simeonkwong257
    @simeonkwong257 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    One reason cashiers like me don’t give out change during the transaction is because it’s hard to keep track. We wait for all the money to be presented before we type in the amount being paid. After transaction has been completed will we make a second transaction to make change. Make it a habit to close drawer each and every single time after you receive money from customer or give back change to customer.

    This happened to me today. (Before all of this, it had been a very busy day, and I was the only cashier for the past 3 hours with little help, so I was mentally drained.) Dude came in asking about mask prices, then picks some out. I ring them up and the total is $5.51, and he hands me a $100 bill. As I’m putting it in the register, he says “Actually I don’t want to break it, I’ll give you some change.” Then I hand him the $100 back and he says “You can just give me the $94” and I forgot I handed him back the $100 so I get out $94 in change, and he gives me 49 cents, which I now see was a trick to make me feel like he had paid. Then he leaves and I realized wtf happened, and was abt to chase him but he was already in his car and speeding off.

    The best thing to do is not take back the change and start over.. Just make it a policy that once the transaction is made, it can't be changed.. If you want to return it then you must do it at the return and exchange center.. . If someone is doing this, its a scam.. Yet a great job on the part of the cashier.. Also some will put away part of the money and claim you shortchanged them in order to get you to give more money to them.. If that is the case then call a manager tell them the problem ask them to do a check on your register to see if he was correct and if no overage, no shortchange.. Crook is busted..

      It would be like this: I say to you, "Would you give me a $50 bill in exchange for five $10 bills?" You agree and give me your $50 bill. I then give you my five $10 bills, but then immediately hand you the $50 bill back and say, "Hey, with the $50 I just gave you, here's another $50, so could you give me $100?" Same principle.

    If you are confused by the transaction with the first girl think of it like this:
    1) He pays for the drink with a $50 and gets his change = TRANSACTION DONE, THEY ARE EVEN
    2) He then gives her $50 in small bills and ask for a single $50 back, which she does = TRANSACTION DONE, THEY ARE EVEN
    Here's where the scam took place
    3) He then gives her $50 but asks for $100 back = SCAM. She got confused because she never put the $50 from step 2 back in her drawer. The guy essentially laid "HIS MONEY" ($50) on top of "NOT HIS MONEY" ($50) and said "give me a $100 bill for that" .

    So management came out and said "its ok sir."

    The problem is that too often other cashiers are too interested in getting customers done with to care and get on your case for taking precautions. It happened to me. Also,too many cashiers are too lazy to care. They are just doing the cashier thing as a way to get a better job, so they just get sloppy. If they get fired for having a till vount that is off, they do not care. They will either get chewed out ( Oh well) or fired ( Who cares? It is just a cashier job.)

    @tobedetermined4180 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the problem is most cashiers are not used to work with cash. It just happened to me today! I had a total of 5.50, I gave the cashier 6 single dollar bills, then I remembered I had some quarters in my pocket(1.50) I hand them to the cashier and I asked for two of the single dollar bills back, she said yes, but continued working the register, when the receipt came out, she looked at the quarters in one hand and the bunch of bills on the other, paused for a minute and did what the register marked, handed me over nervously .50c change. I saw the confusion on her face, I decided it was not worth saying anything, I took the fifty cents, she smiled because she didn’t understand what just happened. I just said “never mind is fine” .I lost two dollars in this incident, no big deal. But hopefully she will realize one day what happened

    When I make a sale, I tell them the amount, make the change and return it with a receipt. if they have a problem I tell them to speak to my boss (we do not have a customer service department). I never re-open the cash drawer (and close it immediately after the sale), nor do I give change without a purchase. I do not take smaller bills to exchange for a larger one/s, I am not a bank.

    If this true, about how much money Lowes is worth, the employees do not get to see none
    This money. They get some time less because they cut hours on the part time staff and the full time staff. From 40/38 hours per week, down to 32 hours per week. Making the remaining staff those Left Behind to are harder and longer for a smaller pay check, and Is still paying for a full time benefit. This is how lows is making their fortune.

    Where I live, if customer uses a $50, it’s run through an accu scanner ON *camera*. And we also put the original bill paid with (by customer) stacked upside in the open register until the change is handed to customer. (Verses slipping it under the drawer fast, if a $50/$100).

  • @bman409
    @bman409 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What's funny about this video is the lady said "Out of $50?" and then when he said "I thought I gave you a $5" she said "Naw you gave me a $50" and she still manages to give him $50 back. Lol.
    But then again.. that was just an example of what is happening. I can see where she got confused at cause she had all that money in her hand and he manipulated her into thinking she didn't give him the correct change back.
    Most people will think he's getting $100 back but he's only getting $50 plus the item. When she had the $49 + $1 + $50 that's where she got confused at cause she's thinking addition and it's $100, so he asks for $100, not knowing he basically gave everything back to her from what she gave him, which in this case $50. She was trying to do 2 transaction at once and got confused. So he's basically getting the Red Bull, which was $2.44, plus the $50.

    A cashier could get so intimidated by this that they will just do what the customer says. Don't give your power to a customer! You are in control. If the customer wants to complain to the manager let them complain. If a company would fire you over doing what's right then they are not worth working for.

      His other pocket has 49 and want to exchange for a 50bill.
      Take the 50 from her and give her the 49
      She count 49 he give another 1
      He says I got ANOTHER 50 (same bill he took back from her for the change she’s counting )
      She doesn’t remember that the 49+1 she counted was suppose to go back in the draw
      He quickly ask for 100 bill instead and get it
      He still hasn’t touch 47.56 that’s in his other pocket

    Never once in all my years as a cashier, have I ever been tricked. Came very close so many times... but I always put the customer's cash on top of the drawer. I do not allow any changes after I enter the amount the customer handes me. I had one man give me a 10... after the transaction, he said he gave me a 20.. well, what do you know...the 10 was still on the drawer.

    Why do they have $100 to give back as change? That $100 is supposed to be put away because a customer gave it to them at some point. Only returns counter should have $100 bills to refund customers. Might wanna check up on this.

  • @ShakespeareCafe
    @ShakespeareCafe หลายเดือนก่อน

    The first give away warning is when the Guy starts the small talk..."How's your day going?" blah blah blah. Focus like a laser beam on your task and don't engage in small talk until the transaction is finished and complete. While ringing items up just focus on your task and ignore anything chatty cathy or craig is saying, again, until the transaction is over.

  • @stephenray95
    @stephenray95 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This video is wrong about closing the registers right away. You verify like first woman did when she said "out of 50" out loud and he confirmed. Next step is to leave the $50 on top of the drawer, you don't mix it with cash already there. So no question what you were given and you're keeping eyes on cash at all times. Once they accept and pocket it, you put the money into the drawer and promptly close it.
    Closing right away like they said in this video will cause other issues, though not necessarily money loss unless dumb manager. For example, I say I gave her $100 and she only gave me change for $50. They open and see a $100 bill and assume is mine. Only way they'd confirm is to do a complete register audit. This is why we in loss prevention say to never put money away immediately (to leave bills aside).
    Nice try though.
    (I'd say all was staged. Doesn't make sense why she'd confirm out loud was $50, prove it later when you say thought you gave $5, AND give you your $50 back. If not completely fake, she wasn't thinking at all and needs not be on a register)

    • @mrdave2112
      @mrdave2112 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Stephen, I agree on leaving the bill on the top front of draw to verify the bill received by the cashier, and once the person takes their change back the transaction is agreed on and complete; now close the draw after the customer has agreed they received the correct change. If they do not agree they received the correct change, leave everything as is and call a manager over. And only one transaction at a time.

    The easiest way to defeat this scam is to keep the customers money on top of the drawer until you make change. Then if they say "Oh I gave you a X" you can show them the very bill they used.

      Worked a while at the register in in a family business. We always put the money received in an extra bucket until the transaction was complete. Then sort it into the register. Often enough people forgot how much they handed over. This kept everyone (customer und us) sure how much was handed over.

    He does not profit $50 in addition to the item. You have to subtract his cost to transport himself to the Lowes. You have to subtract his hourly labor rate. Then you have to subtract the Federal, state and local taxes and now you arrive at net profit. The narrator need to recall there is NOTHING free in this world. NOTHING. No one should be using that word when it comes to acquiring goods, services or anything of value. NOTHING is free. Not even 'free' shipping. The shipping company is getting paid. Paid by who? Paid by the end consumer (the buyer, not the retailer)...every time.

    I work at a Little Caesars and I remember a guy coming in just to buy a soda. Didn't buy a pizza just a drink and like others stores most cashier in the evening are teenager's. So the end up getting the cashier for 50 dollars. But this dumbass decides to come back after 2 days. And try's to do it again with a different cashier not only did he try to Short change he try to give her a fake 50. And at the same time this is happening I work at two little Ceaser and a week later I see the same guy walking towards the store I told the cashier what he was about to do grab his drink and I'll handle the rest. And I just told he how could he f*ck over cashier's that don't know better.

Also same day another dud pays with a $20 and then tells me he payed with a $50. Once he realized I wasn’t falling for it he basically played it off as a simple misunderstanding but I knew and he knew he was trying to pull a fast one. Moral is never trust the customer and always call a manger because you don’t want to be blamed for anything you had control of
