Distributing Tills

Each morning fresh tills need to be distributed to the Donor Desk and the Thrift Store. This is a fairly straightforward procedure.


 * Fresh till belong in the safe in the third shelf (from the top). These should have neatly counted money in them and a fresh till worksheet.
 * There are three sets of tills. Each is marked with a number (1-3). Each set contains a till marked "Thrift Store" and one marked "Front Desk".


 * 1) Pull the tills from the third shelf.
 * 2) * Check to see if the numbers match, and that there is one for each location.
 * 3) * If there is a problem, see below.
 * 4) Leave the third safe door open, exposing an empty shelf.
 * 5) Distribute the tills to the donor desk and thrift store.
 * 6) * Collect the credit card machine tapes from each location.
 * 7) * Collect the receiving tally slips from the donor desk
 * 8) Bring all tapes and slips back to the escape hatch.
 * 9) * Leave on the table.
 * 10) Check the bottom shelf in the safe for a clean set of tills.
 * 11) * If found, move one clean set up to the third shelf and lock both safe doors.
 * 12) * If no clean tills are found lock only the bottom safe door. Leave the third safe door open, exposing an empty shelf.

Problems?
 * If the third shelf does not contain any clean tills,
 * open and look on the bottom shelf for a clean set of tills. If found, swap the clean set into the third shelf, and the used set into the bottom shelf. Lock the bottom shelf and proceed from step 2 above.


 * If there are no clean tills,
 * This means that someone messed up. This rarely happens. Follow the emergency till counting procedure below:

Emergency till counting procedure
Normally, you don't need to do this. Be sure you actually do need to before proceeding.


 * Take all the money and paperwork from the used thrift store till and place in an envelope. Write a note, saying the date and "Thrift Store" on it. Put in envelope.
 * Take all the money and paperwork from the used front desk till and place in an envelope. Write a note, saying the date and "Front Desk" on it. Put in envelope.
 * Take $100 from the cash box and "change for tills" envelope (in the second door from the top). Put this into the front desk till.
 * Take $250 from the cash box and "change for tills" envelope (in the second door from the top). Put this into the thrift store till.
 * Distribute these tills using the regular procedure.
 * Alert the beancounters that the tills were not ready.
