Point of Sale (POS) Glossary
The opening amount in a point of sale register is the amount of money in a cash drawer to start the day, shift, or another employee taking over a register position. Cash drawers are usually equipped to make change by putting a variety of different denominations in the drawer. This opening amount is entered into a point of sale system, which keeps track of the transactions until the register is balanced when the POS terminal is closed out.
Usually, only one employee is responsible for a register. Balancing the register makes the employee who ran the register accountable for the cash. If there is money missing, management must determine if it was due to a mistake or theft and then act per the store’s policies and procedures.

Should You Collect Charitable Donations?
You’ve probably been at the register at the grocery store and asked if you wanted to contribute money to a charity as you checked out. Maybe you donated, or perhaps you found it was annoying. It might have depended on your mood that day, or possibly the charity was a deciding factor.
