Which of the following is NOT part of safe cash handling at the register?

• A. Skipping reconciliation of tills at shift end.
• B. Accurate scanning, giving correct change, reconciling tills, and reporting discrepancies.
• C. Handling cash in an unlocked drawer.
• D. Refusing to give change and pocketing cash.

Answer: (B)

Safe cash handling centers on actions that protect cash, ensure transactions are accurate, and provide accountability. When you scan items accurately, give the correct change, reconcile tills at the end of your shift, and report any discrepancies, you’re doing exactly what keeps cash secure and the till balanced. These steps prevent errors, deter theft, and create a clear record of transactions. That’s why this statement aligns with proper cash-handling practices and would be considered safe. In contrast, skipping reconciliation at shift end, keeping cash in an unlocked drawer, or pocketing cash are clear violations that undermine security and accuracy, so they are not part of safe handling.
