> 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.
