What should I do with it?

[Anonymous]

In my job in grocery they dont have cents for a change. Im a cashier Whenever a customer pays the item for example they purchased 53.60 and their money is 100 pesos we dont have cents coins available so I just control if the change has more than 60 cents I will round off the number for example the change is 101.62 i will give 102 change to customer if its his change is less than 60 i won't give her the cents change for example 101.60 or 101.50 I will only give 101 to him. I shouldn't be short in money like I should have 20 pesos for total of all cents collected when they collect the money at the end of the day for all purchases in grocery in my cashier bank. I shouldn't have more than 30 pesos because i will get charged for it either because the employer thinks Im stealing for them and when Im short it will be charge to me as well my question is what should I do with that? How can I avoid being short or excess in coins in collected cents when they dont have cents coins for a change for exact change? Its just me who control

Hmm that's tricky sis, I can see how cents could add up without even realizing. A few ideas:

- Ask your boss if you can start a cents jar at your register. Every time you round up change, pop it in there. Then at the end of each shift you're even.

- Round down more often than up if you're usually over. Give 59 cents change as just 59 pesos instead of rounding up to 60 pesos.

- You could try tracking cents on a notepad throughout your shift. Tally up rounding up vs down so it evens out closer to zero.

- Talk to your coworkers - maybe work out a system where sometimes you round up and they round down, or vice versa, to average it all out.

- As a last resort, explain to your boss and see if they'll cut you some slack on being within 30 pesos since it's out of your direct control. Honesty is the best policy!

Hope some of those ideas help sis. Main thing is communicating with your boss - if they understand the issue they're more likely to work with you on solving it. You got this!

Ask your employer for coins to give people exact change. Or to change the prices to whole dollar amounts.
