Cashier shift
In Arabic وردية الكاشير
A cashier shift is the period one cashier works a till, opened with a counted float and closed by counting the drawer against what it should hold.
In plain words
The shift gives the cash in a drawer an owner. When one cashier opens with a known float and closes on a count, any difference belongs to that shift. Without it, a short drawer at the end of the day is everybody’s and nobody’s.
At the close the system works out the expected cash: the opening float plus cash sales, less any cash paid out. The cashier counts the drawer, the difference is recorded as over or short, and a manager reviews it before the cash moves in the books.
The common mistake is letting the cashier see the expected figure before counting. The count then tends to match the screen rather than the drawer. Count first, compare second, and keep the difference visible even when it is small.
