Money, cash register and safe deposit procedures

[acesdeals]

My store is 99% service based so it usually doesnt involve tax and most customers pay with credit

Right now i keep a about 10 singles, 4 5s 2 10s and a single 20 in the register
If i have more i take it home and store it in my safe, and i bring back the missing bills to make sure i have the same amount

Obviously this is not the best option and it only works for me as the owner, but if i dont go in to the store my assistants need to be able to have the right amount of cash and not have too much either

How do many of your operate this part of the business??

I keep almost the same amount in our register. Only had an issue once or twice in 2.5 years where one of the first customers of the day wanted to buy something like a cheap cable or adapter with a $100. I usually tell them I don't have that much change, and direct them to the gas station across the street for change.

I'm like you though, it's mostly just me. I need to keep some more change in the building but don't have any good safe places for the extra money.
