Yes, they counted the till and said it was £20 down, so I had to dig into my own pocket. Then when they recounted it later, they were £20 up, and I never got my £20 back. Needless to say, I didn't stay in that job...

Oh yes, I have, and on a few occasions, it got so bad, that their were certain people I actually refused to work with in the end, as my till was only ever down when they worked. Then their were other people I worked with and our till would be spot on. So see if their is a pattern with certain people, and just refuse to work with them, not only for reasons in case they are thieving, but also for reasons, like making mistakes, giving the wrong change, all those sort of things. You will pretty much see who is the one getting things wrong, and making the others pay for it.
Once I stopped working with these people, my till was never down. Only up sometimes, by pennies.
All the best with this situation.

When my mom ran a grocery store she didn't make them pay back if it was short. But if it kept coming up short or it was a large amount she'd sack the checker.
The biggest cause of losses was customers stealing goods and employees stealing from the till. By the way her profit margins were very slim 2%-4% so any lose was a big deal.

Yes, it was in my contract that I would have to. However, they were in the middle of implementing a new computer/cash system so it wasn't really clear that I had done anything wrong. Normally I was within a dollar, on easily two or three thousand. I think they made me pay half, 20 of 40 dollars, not sure.

I do know people who have done it because they thought it was there fault But legally you should not have to pay it back. Mistakes happen every day at the big stores. If it happens a lot at your till & you never leave that till you will have no money left

I'm a manager for a big retail company and it's illegal to do that whatever your 'contract' states. They have to investigate and decide on an action. Make sure no one else uses your till.

Depending on what state you are in ...if you are not a cash manager responsible the money that shift then you are not obligated to pay any shortages...
I recently had a situation where my day cash was $15 short ...Our D.M. wanted me to pay it and I told him to "kiss my @$$" .

You have asked the same question twice and neither makes any sense!! Perhaps you should explain what you mean and we can then answer you!!! What have you done with your till? Taken money out? WHAT???????

Just steal the money from someone else's till and put it in yours

No thats stupid, I'm sure you don't actually have to?But your boss could accuse you of stealing, if your not the only person on the till then don't pay it, its not fair.
