ex-squeeze me? baking powder?

Ok, so something strange happened at work before I left today. I didn't really think about it at the time, but now I'm sorta... wtf? I worked a little box office today while people ate or took smoke breaks. I should point out that I was rarely alone in there for this to make sense. If I wasn't sitting in there with someone else, there were customers at the window. Before I was leaving the manager on duty asked me if I had done anything "weird" with the money. Define weird. Well, because the money seemed to be short. Wtf? Seriously... wtf? All I did was sell tickets and someone was usually in there with me. But other times I was in there I straightened the money. Someone else was in there those times as well. I have this anal thing where I don't like the money all sticking up every which way. Because it get's snagged up in the drawer and gets stuck behind it... which is probably where it is right now. So I wanna know why I am being asked this shit because unless I knocked someone out or drugged them or became invisible, there's no way someone is not gonna notice me pocketing money if they're sitting or standing RIGHT THERE.

I'm probably being overly sensitive, but it bugs me because I'm not that dumb. If I were gonna steal, which I don't care enough about that job to even bother getting into that much trouble for it, but if I were, I'd at least be smart and attempt to hide it.

Now I am going to post new challenges at malfoy100, blaise100, and tthdrabbles. I am also going to try to finish the Blaise-y fic I started for Jinni tonight.

eta: Now if it's missing posters, they'd be right to question me. There's a Goblet of Fire teaser poster that few people ever saw before it went to my house to hang out with my PoA and CoS posters. There's also a Narnia poster that never even made it upstairs. And somewhere out there there's a print of CoS that's missing a good two feet of Snape and Draco.

no shit. that's so dumb. honestly... who the fuck would do something so stupid from a place of obvious dumbfucks as that? honestly now, if theft was the thing to do, we'd be hitting up friggin jewelry stores and art museums after disabling all the alarms. morons should be told to remove their heads from their asses so as to more easily apply duct-tape on their mouths.

If it were missing posters or missing sections of films, then I'm their girl. At least one copy of each of the HP posters we've gotten in the past few years have made it to my house. I have sections of film that are supposed to be in CoS.

We've had a couple of people steal from our bakery. My brother andI are supposed to be on alert to see people pocketing money (which makes me feel weird when customers give me tips because we're not supposed to get tips and they're usuallymore than a few cents). It really sucks having to ask someone if they did something "Weird" with the money, because we feel HORRIBLE if someone turned out to be innocent.

Although, our registers suck so sometimes it's easy to mistake a 10 for a twenty and give someone too much change back. Our customers aren't th emost scrupulous people around...

Yuck. That's why at my old theater you could only work your own drawer, and if you were subbing during breaks you got your own drawer. We had 6 people fired last summer for not ringing things up and just pocketing the money. Grrr.

Years ago when I worked as a cashier at a golf course, it used to irk me to no end when they would make you leave your register to take your break or lunch, but they wouldn't let you cash out. They just had one of the other cashiers or assistant managers take over your register while you were gone. My cash drawer would always be off (more often short than having too much money) at the end of shift and they always acted like it was my fault.

I am the same freaking way about having money in a register. All the bills have to be neat and facing the same direction. I actually used to go around to other people's drawers (because they ASKED me to) and straigten it for them. ::sigh:: Cleanliness is close to the goddess.
