So I recently became a casier for a month well last night I was told 2 of my tills came up short. Which I know is not mostly my fault because at my store 3 ppl r on a till before they exchange it. Well my front end manager said she would put me on my own till to watch me. Well tonight I was told by one of my store managers that my front end manager and head store manager said it would be best if I voluntarily go down to courtesy clerk. So i signed a paper that said I would. What do you guys think?

Was there a union representative there when they asked you to sign the paper? Never sign anything without union representation, and never sign anything that you know is not in your best interest.
well yeah to answer both ur questions yes my front end manager said she would isolate me but she told me last night. also when i signed the paper only person there was the manager who asked me to sign it
it sounds like instead of isolating like your front end manager said she's do, after aking to her boss the store manager decided to just ask if you'd agree to be demoted. how short were the drawers?
Our tills always 10 or 50 dollars short or over. No one till is 100 present correct because you can make a mistake that make it look like your till is more than what it needs to be.
how would one go about not signing something, lets say those safety period papers... without them getting offended?

At my store, whenever they have those papers "you are responsible blah blah blah" about safety and all that, we will PRINT our name, and where it says signature, just write RTS (Refused to sign).
I was told, they don't need us to sign them, just that we have seen them. If you sign, then someone slips and falls near you for some reason. They can lay blame and responsibility on you, and not store/store management.

You mean like the "Department Safety Standards"? I wouldn't and won't sign any of them. I tell them thats personal bargaining wheter they get offended or not.

My tills were coming up short at the store where I used to work at until I was told by a friend to always count my till at the time it is handed to me. Turns out, the tills were short before they even got to me.
Demoted?! At my store, 90% of the baggers are being paid more than the cashiers! they work less hours so they have about the same paycheck size, but most cashiers are making $7.25-$7.50/hour and our baggers are making upwards of $8.50-$9!!!
i WISH my FE manager would LET me be a bagger!
A cashier and bagger working the same time, say 25 hours a week, without taxes this woulld be thier paychecks: C: $181.25-187.5. B: $212.5-225.

I'm dying to see your union contract now. Please scan and post the wage section.

sorry, but how the **** is a till off 10 to 50 dollars and your managers are ok with it?? ours are usually off with just the coins, and officially the rule is something like the store's cash for the day is allowed to be off by 10 cents per 1000 dollars.
Our uscan only gets counted (enough to get an over/short) once per week. That's lean accounting. Our tills often come up significantly over/short as well, but most of the time it comes back in the inventory or mistendered payments or unrung miscellaneous sales/refunds. And that limit of $.10 per $1000 is per week, not per day, which is stricter, but in the end, all the accounting person ends up doing is fixing what can be fixed and reporting the numbers as is.
