Certainly, and you can just as easily tell your employer that you're not going to pay for the shortage in till out of your pocket. But don't be surprised if employer says that he/she doesn't need you anymore then.

Unfortunately, yes. It is common for employers to demand that employees make up for their mistakes in change out-of-pocket. If you paid someone too much change, it is considered your fault and you pay the difference. Most employers write it off as a loss if it is greater than $20, but most employers also fire cashiers if they are regularly off by over $20 each week in their registers.

There are many local policies and laws that affect this type of situation. In any case, you have to give the employer written authorization before they can require that. The employer may NOT deduct the money from your paycheck. You probably signed something in your pre-hire paperwork that said you agreed to this.
If you have questions, contact your state's Department of Labor. You can usually ask a question or file a claim on line.

Yep, my friend is a waitress and at her work if someone skips out on their bill, the employer makes that waiter/waitress pay for it out of his/her tip money. I don't think in that case it's fair because people are assholes and do that quite often...
