A girl came to the register with some essentials for a pet and explained very quietly that she didn't have much money and asked if there was any kind of discount I could give her. She said she would try her card anyway but it might be declined.
No one was in earshot or eyesight so I told her to just take it. I just started this job too hope I don't get fired lol
Weird blank post. I was expecting a story but it sounds like you didn't see anything.
You did a wonderful thing. And even if you somehow do get in trouble, people are desperate for employees right now.
managers tend to think very little of workers anyway, so you can pretty much always just feign incompetence. being "bad" at checking people out isn't a crime.
Oh shoot I didn't notice the card didn't go through my bad!
This literally happened all the time with the funky chip reader at my old job
people are bad at counting. arithmetic mistakes happen all the time. especially if there's a lot of food involved.
Yeah I figure since I'm new I can always just say I messed something up with the register. I'm financially stable anyway so even getting fired wouldn't be the end of the world.
Didn't you just start posting?
and you're already this powerful...

Pro tip - give away free shit as much as possible at your job. It's cool and good.
Just giving away stuff is the only thing I miss about cashiering. It always made people so happy.
You're already one of my favorite people on this site and this is the first time we're meeting.
