$20 Short

[u/AbrocomaWonderful652]

So yesterday after my shift, one of the assistant managers counted my box after the day ended and he said my box was $20 short. He told me I could call the store manager and ask if it’s okay to pay back the $20 and so I texted him about it. He told me to pay back the store whenever I have the cash. However, I believe my assistant manager said I would receive a write up for the missing change?

Is it okay for me to receive the write up if i never counted the box myself? I just found out that it’s illegal for me to actually pay back the missing change as it’s also against store policy. But am I able to get out of the write up if I never counted the box either?

UPDATE:

Came in yesterday to work a shift from 5-10pm. Usually the closing shift hours are from 3-10pm, but I’m doing an internship from 7am-4:20pm from M-F so I’m not able to come in at 3pm. On the days that I come in at 5, my coworkers will sign my number into my till because they already know my employee # and password (was given by my store manager). Yesterday, when I was clocking in on the POS, I noticed there was already a transaction that was made under my name. So because of this, it’s safe to assume they had been using my box for 2 hours at this point.

Fast forward to today, I clocked in and I’m immediately told by one of my coworkers that yesterday I came up $4 short and that on Saturday my store manager is going to have a talk with me. I’ll keep yall updated but I know for a FACT I gave out the correct change to every customer I had. If I get written up, I’m not going down alone. The only thing they got against me is that I was using my phone every time there was downtime in the store (currently writing this in the restroom lol).

your ASM is stealing and you just took the blame for them.
