Today, I learned the hard way not to keep my own cash in my pocket while working as a cashier, when I was forced to give $30 to a scamming customer. FML

Most businesses have cameras above the register. I would have put on a friendly smile for the camera and tell the customer to **** off. They can't prove shit, and if your boss doesn't have your back i feel sorry for you.,

I don't know where you work but at my job were not allowed to have money with us.

If you're going to have money in your pocket while on shift keep it in a wallet, no one can realistically accuse you of stealing someone's change if it's in a wallet.

Sorry but no one can force me to give my own money if I know It is mine unless under gunpoint. I am maybe lucky not to live in a country where you can't be fired for such a thing and your manager can actually get into trouble if he tries to do it anyway. I met a lot a scammers but they had 0 succes with me even those who pulled knifes on me, even cops backed me up when I sent one of them to the hospital.

I worked as a cashier and at the beginning of every shift we declared the amount of cash we had upon ourselves. I had my share of scamming customers but with the help of the managers we solved the problems. Be more careful next time.

The only thing I can think of is to pull your drawer and have your manager count it to prove you're not off.

If the customer claimed that you put his money in your pocket, then your drawer will not be off. You still lose whatever you had in that pocket.

I disagree, 25, the drawer could still be off. If the scammer said that OP pocketed their money for a sale, the drawer would be short for the amount of said transaction.

Not if the drawer isn't off and if the change amount on the receipt does not equal the amount in OP's pocket.

Where do you work to even be allowed money in your pockets on the shop floor??

If they claimed you stole their change or something this is definitely an FML. On the other hand if they somehow conned you into a pyramid scheme or sold you magic beans while you were ringing them up then YDI. We need to know the full story here.

I have had customers try that on more than one occasion. I am guessing that they claimed to have lost the exact amount that the cashier had in their pocket. That's one I tell my cashiers not to go near their picked while on register. But I wouldn't have given up my money to them. If the manager wants to give up store money that's their call but I won't end up being short over it.
