Examples of Bad Cash
Cash handling often
In many companies, managers are much more concerned with cash shortages than overages. This practice is harmful for several reasons. First, a deviation from the expected amount of cash either means that you’ve shortchanged the business or the customer. Cashiers should be focused on accuracy.

Like most other job skills, employees need practice to become good cash handlers, and cashier training is where this should begin. By not training employees properly, smallbusiness managers are setting workers up to fail.

Properly training cash handlers can protect your business’s cash and reduce stress on new employees, which in turn can reduce turnover.
