Re: [AGA-mcm] Re: T-shirts and other things with drawers

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

It has it's benefits -- the biggest one being in a case
like this: the cashier is in a hurry with 10 people backed
up at the counter and 4 of them asking questions at the
same time and the money is taken for several purchases with
the expectation that the it will be recorded later, but it
doesn't get recorded, or not accurately.

But we don't want to be unreasonable either (not even me)
-- cashiering is a pita job anyway it's done, not to
mention the extra annoyance for the patrons. If we sell a
mix of items through a single cashier, we should accept
single means of payment. The main thing then will be that
transactions be recorded accurately. If I can impress that
point on folks, then I will have fulfilled my fiduciary
responsibility in this regard.

But imagine getting, say $6,000 in receipts/records for
various items and $6,350 or $5,480 in cash and checks that
supposedly matches the money, all in one pile. How much of
what did we sell? I can tell you that having been
responsible in the for the management of the billion dollar
main account of the ageny and in my current job for a half
dozen $5k and $10k petty cash funds; the cash funds are the
most trouble and most error prone.

Okay, I'm off this topic now. I'm not it's not my place to
"run" the cash management for the convention. I just want
to impress the point about being able to keep track of our
business.

thanks,
