Re: Been thinking
I had a summer job in a supermarket X years ago. During training we were told our checkout could be randomly audited to make sure we weren't on the take. Sounded reasonable: We were handling money. One day I was audited. I was a bit nervous, but shrugged it off as it was just a random event as told in our training.
An hour later I got audited again. A short while later I got audited again. And later on a fourth time. All in one shift
During the last audit I asked what was going on, as I thought these were supposed to be once in a blue moon events.
I was told that the computer consistently had my checkout as being out by a certain amount. Yet the checkout next to me was out, by the same, but opposite, amount.
I never found out what was wrong - but I never got fired so clearly they didn't blame me.
