    you should make sure you always count back change. Its a pet hate of mine lol. So many register shortages can be avoided by making sure you count back your change. My rule of thumb (and what i teach new operators) is count it as your getting it out of the drawer, recount in your hand, then...

    well apparently with the payslips being avalible online, its cause certain parts of Storenet will be accessable at home. I doubt the rosters being avalible online is likely to happen though, i think that was one of the features that WorkBrain was originally going to have? Usually i do our...
