Would you argue?

Just think of it as being karma balancing out the times you've lost money.

I used to work in the local Lidl, they way the worked it was , 200 euro float in your cash box, you got your own till number and at the end of your shift you cashed out.
The till printed out your takings on the day for your number and if you were out more than fifty cent you had to either pay it then or agree to have it taken out of your wages.

Got stung on my first week there, till was down thirty euro.
Had to pay it at the end of the night out of my own pocket and as lidl pay monthly and your first month is just your basic contract (10 hrs a week) you can bet your house i made sure it didnt happen again!!

Would you have been as quick to say you had not made a mistake or would you have tried to rectify the situation she didn't even get to find out what i was claiming.Just a quick question what happens to an over balance?

Was just going to say that. If it is taken out of her wages then its an expensive mistake for her and one she wont make again in a hurry. I will say one thing though. If I had been wronged my change and I thought I should have been given more then her comment about having to serve the next person would fall completely on deaf ears I would be screaming for a manager and standing my ground. I have no clue how she thought that would work if she had actually short changed you. In that instance where you tried to return the money and she was dismissive like that I think human nature would be to say sod her. Cant fault you really. Even if you did have a word with her manger to return the money you would be drawing attention to her mistake and its likely she would be in trouble anyway. So damage done for her either way so you may as well keep the money or donate it to a charity of your choice.

I would have at least taken the time to check out (:D) what you were saying but i can guarantee she remembers it and probably wont happen again with her!

As to an over balance, well its checked and checked again and then the corporation take it!!

Ah it was around eight years ago so i cant really remember fiqures to be honest, just that on the slow days it could be as little as 100-200 in four hours per till operator.

On the busy days average about 12 customers per hour at a spend of 60 -70 well the maths speak for themselves ( i hope)...thats about the best my memory can recall of the time!!

I agree i think she will remember it ok.It might also change her attitude to customers querys.
Would to many over balances get you sacked?

Agreed she might just have a smile and be more polite...nothing irks me more than an impolite or grumpy shop assitant!

And just for the record, i think you were right, you gave her a chance to check and she made her own balls up!!

As for gettin sacked for over balances, depending on the shop i suppose.
The likes of lidl and aldi you have to work the tills as part of the job so i cant imagine it would go for to long without written warnings and then dismissal but others like supervalu and tescos you could just be moved to shelve stacking or the likes
