against employees?
A. produce theft
B. returns
C. time theft
D. stolen items
E. incorrect price increases on store items

Answer 1

Answer:

E. Incorrect price increases on store items

Explanation:

This occurs when an employee charges a customer full price but takes a little cash out of the total for themselves. This may result in telltale cash register imbalances; or, it can be more complex, like using coupon codes on a customer’s purchase while still charging them full price and then pocketing the difference. In situations where your staff manually accept cash in a fast-paced environment like a bar, this is an easy scam to pull: charge a customer $5 for the beer, deposit $4, and blame the fast pace of the evening for the till imbalance later on.
