+A Cash Register can be a Mysterious Beast


 
Our Thursday evening presale gives us practice with the cash register and credit card machine.  That's because our strong points are arts and crafts, not running a cash register. My daughter-in-law +Rikki Fernald came all the way from Bend to help and even started teaching her daughter Moriah how to ring up purchases. We use hand-written sales slips as a back-up.







+Carolyn Anderson, our financial wizard, manages to unravel the errors at the end of each day, often working 'til midnight so that our records are perfect, and we can get a fresh start the next day.  A glass of wine is just the ticket to get through those final hours. Adding a second cash register to handle only credit cards helped, but not enough.


2012 and 2013 the +Clatsop County Women's Resource Center sent wonderful volunteers who run the cash registers at their thrift shop.  These people know what they're doing, so we had many fewer errors and much less stress on  us!    I told you the Women's Resource Center was great!!
