How can cashiers ensure the safety of their cash drawer?

To ensure the safety of their cash drawer, cashiers should periodically count the cash and securely store any excess. This practice helps maintain an accurate record of the cash on hand, allowing cashiers to identify any discrepancies promptly. Regular counting can detect errors, theft, or paper currency that may need to be deposited. Additionally, storing excess cash securely reduces the risk of loss or theft, responsible cash management, and promotes overall financial security in the workplace.

The other methods mentioned do not contribute to the security of the cash drawer. Keeping the drawer open for easy access increases the risk of unauthorized transactions or theft. Allowing all employees access can lead to potential misuse of the cash drawer, making it more vulnerable to theft or fraud. Depositing all cash into the bank daily, while generally a good practice for reducing on-site cash volume, may not be practical for all businesses and does not address ongoing cash management and security during the day.
