The cashier said "I don't like counting", but he meant "This order is on a clock, and I'd rather be yelled at later for a short till than right now for fucking up our stats."

Also, "Pay with card next time, Boomer."

He's gonna get yelled at harder when his register count doesn't add up.

Tills can usually be off by a certain amount typically, Mcdicks it's +/-$10 I think. For the handful of cash transactions, and the people who just round to the nearest dollar and say "I don't need the coins/change", it's likely within tolerance range.

I would be shocked if they allowed that much variance. When I worked in fast-food and retail, it was more like 10 cents, not dollars.

Yup, 10¢ they'll take from the take a penny leave a penny, but if it's a dollar or god forbid $5 you are getting chewed out until someone (usually the nicest supervisor) takes the cash out of their wallet to make up the difference.

Ya, I just looked it up quick. Changes are, it's up to the franchisee, and it might be that that franchisee doesn't want the employees to bother with change, and just eats the costs.

It was +/-$2 when I worked there a year and a half ago

I just looked it up quick. Is that corporate mandated, or per franchisee?

u/Ameri0425 4d ago

Most likely, per franchisee. Not sure what the corporate standards are, but they're less than 20% of stores these days.

I've heard of some stores being as low as $1 and as high as $5. $10 I've not personally seen though at a McD's, though it may exist

I think corporate charges the franchisees a flat amount regardless of sales. So my guess would be it's up to the individual franchisee, as it would just eat into their profits, and corporate makes the same regardless.

I'm not certain on any of that though. I would have to look up a lot of contracts and legal documents to know for sure, and I just don't have the energy for that right now lol.

Yeah when I worked there, enough people say keep the change that I rarely had to worry about being under. In fact there was enough I could help out people who were short a little bit. The only times my drawers were bad either over/under were when someone else ended up using my drawer and management didn't do the proper switch outs.

As a former supervisor they aint paying me enough to yell at my direct reports. You gotta earn that yell money.
