"Rodie" A friend who had children working there suspected a scam because it happened several times. The scam could be that the drawer is not actually under. Sorry for not making that clear!

Learn to count and this will not happen to you.
My favorite lunch time activity is to place my order. Lets say it comes to $5.38. Hand them a $10.00 bill, let them ring it in the POS terminal. Then say, "oh, I have the 13 cents.", and watch their eyes glaze over. They don't know what to do. I have even had them tell me they can't take the 13 cents because they already rang it up, and it will mess up the drawer.
If you can't do that math in your head then you shouldn't have a job dealing with money.
PS. For all the McDonald's Cashiers reading this, my change is $ 4.75

In my experience as a cashier at McDonalds as a teen, and as a teller as an adult, this doesn't sound right. Do you have a corporate number that you can call with questions? They don't let you keep the money when you are over, so paying when you are short is counter to common protocol. Bear in mind that if you are short often, they may reassign you to another postion that does not require cash handling.

i used to work in McDs and you would take ur till to the manager at the end of a shift and watch them count it.
If there was any money over or under you would just be asked to be more vigilant or if there was a lot of money missing you might have been given a verbal warning. as far as i know noone was ever made to pay themselves if the cash drawer was short.

how is it a scam. its your own fault for not counting it before the drawer was even used to make sure the correct starting amount was in there and then if u let anyone else use the drawer. so if u were smart you would count it before its ever used and not let any one else use it. its short its your fault
