Today, it was my second day working as a cashier in a drug store. I thought everything went great, but by the end of my shift, my cash register was $10 short. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad if on my first day it hadn't been $30 short. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my first day at work as a cashier. I was so nervous that my whole body got numb and my eye sight completely blurred. I ran to the bathroom blind while bumping into everything in the store, making sure that everyone knew I had a problem. FML
Today, was my first day at my new job in a shop. 10 minutes after my first customer leaves I realize she managed to steal $200 worth of merchandise while she had me getting stuff for her from the back room. FML
Today, I went shopping on my only day off. The only aisle open was self-checkout. I'm a cashier. FML

Today, I was called into my first day of work as a cashier. Not even 30 minutes into training, my boss had already "accidentally" touched my ass 7 times. FML
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
Today, I started my new job as a cashier for a drugstore. As I scanned some children's medicine for a family, I gave the girl a tissue because her nose was running. Later, my boss sat me down and told me there had been a complaint about a "female pedo-employee." I'm the only woman working there. FML
Today, it was my first day at work as a waitress. The day ended with me owing my employers money, after I accidentally smashed an expensive bottle of wine on the floor. FML
Today, at my retail job, a woman came to my till with her purchases. After I scanned all her items, she handed me two small bags. One was filled with nickels and dimes. The other was filled with cents. Her total was $28.53. The coins amounted to $22.30. FML
Today, it was my first day on a £600 a week job. I was fired for being 10 minutes late. FML

So either you REALLY suck at your new job, and should be in no position to count/ dispense money whatsoever, or your drawer is short before your day even begins? Are you able to count the drawer yourself before you start. Someone could be pocketing money and using you as the fall guy, being new and all... Either way, be careful.

I would put my money on you being innocent, but it might disappear...

Are you not being trained? The store I work at, we put a seasoned cashier with a new hire at their shoulder for the first couple days, and then have one within shouting distance for at least the first week or two. If you were making big enough or often enough mistakes to get that short, shouldn't your trainer notice?

sounds like you should bulk up on some math. dw though i applied at a home goods and failed the division/multiplication test. ofc when i got home i instantly remembered how to do long hand math without a calculator. matrices and shit just mess you all up.

When I worked at a sandwich shop I got hussled twice. This resluted in the drawer being about $20 short. The third time is happened I recognized it and asked the guy if he was hussling me, but I wasn't allowed to accuse him. He ended up coming back later and returning the money. Anyways, maybe you got hussled, OP.

Well your new and people often steal from new guys. Just try to count everything as many times as you want and calm down. This will happen a few times more.

Banks require tellers to count the money 3 times in the process of giving customers cash you should try something like that for a while

happens to me a lot and normally it can be tracked to a fault in the machine saying that you started with less/more than you should
