It's also to prevent fraud by the cashier. Any transaction without a paper trail showing proof of purchase makes it easy for staff to simply pocket the cash.

- amorphid 8y ago> It's also to prevent fraud by the cashier Example: - cashier says you owe $X - you pay in cash - cashier gives you receipt - after you leave, cashier voids the transaction & pockets the cash There are plenty of ways the cashier can get caught, but catching then be a non-trivial exercise. It depends on the products being sold, quality of systems to prevent fraud, etc.
- pixl97 8y agoVoiding a transaction leaves a paper trail. Many registers require manager keys to void. Not producing a receipt requires no paper trail.
- AdamM12 8y agoWorked at a popular teen retailer in HS. Friend of mine would have his friends (not including me) come in and return items. He'd simply give them the item back, pocket the cash/gift card. Got caught by fraud prevention due to high return count.
