Funnily enough my dad was a Building Society manager and way back then if a till didn't add up he had to send the person responsible to collect money or give it back to the customer at home. I'm guessing that staff soon learned to be extra careful.Apropos not a lot, I used to be a Building Society branch manager, and one of the golden rules that was drilled into us at a very early stage, was that if a till, on being balanced, came up with a shortfall, no way was it to be made up from personal resources. The simple reason was that if money could be put in for a shortfall, it would be very easy to take it out in the event of a surplus…
No, the non-balance had to be recorded.
