CASHIERTRAINER
It is not necessary for the Customer Service Manager (CSM) tofacilitate every register training. This allows flexibility in scheduling anadequate number of register training each week. Cashier Trainershould be encouraged to facilitate the new cashier training processwhenever possible.
In a sponsorship, established key associates are assigned to newassociates to answer any new questions and help them feel comfortablein their new position. The Cashier Trainer plays an important role in thenew cashier training process. A Cashier Trainer helps teach anddevelop the new associate in:
• Wal-Mart policies and procedures• Wal-Mart Culture• Specific job training
What is important, is that we use the right criteria for determining whoshould be a Cashier Trainer. All Cashier Trainers possess a common trait – they believe in buildingthe success of our company by developing our people. CashierTrainers must possess these key qualities:
• Demonstration of our company beliefs.• Policies conformity.• Front-end standards familiarity.• Transaction procedures expertise.• Register operations experience.• Security awareness.• Loss Prevention attentiveness.• EAS system understanding.• Communication skills.• Instructor competence.• Organising ability• A positive, enthusiastic, cheerful and helpful attitude that embodies
the Wal-Mart family spirit.
Cashier Trainer Tip #1• Make it fun!• Establish a good rapport with your new
cashier right from the start. Onceestablished, things can only get better.Fail to do so, and things will get worse.
• Show them you are there to help them,not make their life more tiresome.
Cashier Trainer Tip #2• Explain the “whole picture”.Help the new cashier understand whathis/her role is and what impact it has onothers.• Aggressive hospitality has an impact on
customers. Explain how.• EAS deactivation has an impact on
customer. Have them experience it. ThePeople Greeter training is the best wayto understand how much EASdeactivation is important.
Cashier Trainer Tip #3• New cashiers need to have the
opportunity to practice what they havelearned immediately.
• To be effective the register training can’tbe done in one day.
• For a successful training you need tofollow these rules:
• Day 1: New associate orientation.• Day 2: CBL and front-end training.• Day 3: CBL and front-end training.• Day 4: CBL, People greeter training and
flat bed test.
Trainers start theprogram with a good
“lid opener”.
Adults learn whenthey feel there is a
need.
Adults learn bydoing.
Cashier Trainer Tip #4• A good trainer asks plenty of questions
in order to help the learners to “reason”their way through an opportunity.
• Caution yourself against simplyproviding all the answers.
• Teach new cashiers to recognize theirresources and discover their own path tothe answer.
Cashier Trainer Tip #5• Enthusiasm is catching! Set the tone! If
you are excited, they will be excited.• Believe in what you are explaining. If
you don’t believe in it, your learners will“see right through you” and will fail tobuy-in to what you are presenting.
• A dull or monotone voice will quicklyturn off your learners. This will causethem to become bored and unconcerned.
Cashier Trainer Tip #6• Never assume the learners understand
what you are talking about.• Check for retention regularly.• Observation – Does the learner look
confused?• Questions – Have a “pop” quiz.• Practice – Can the learner perform the
new task?• Behavior – Is there now a new habit?
Adults learn byanswering relevant
open-ended questions.
Trainers speak withpassion!
Trainers evaluatetheir results
constantly.
Cashier Trainer Tip #7• Where do we want to go? How are we
going to get there? How will my life bechanged for the better once I arrive?These are some of the questions learnerswant to know.
• Develop an anxious desire for the future.Inspire learners to want to arrive at theend result as soon as possible.Recognize milestones and celebrate.
Cashier Trainer Tip #8• Pre-select the location for where the
training will take place.• Know “who” is to be involved ahead of
time.• Has the trainer made an effort to reduce
the number of interruptions that mayoccur? (Hold calls, floor coverage, etc.)
• Has any effort been made to provide“space” for the learning to take place?
Cashier Trainer Tip #9• Learners relate to the expected end
results with “real life stories” thatillustrate key points.
• Speak from your own experience orexperiences you have heard from othercashiers, People greeters, CSM, front –end assistant and customers.
• Let them observe customer’s reactionwhen the People Greeter has to invitethem to come back in the store becausean item hasn’t been deactivatedproperly.
Trainers help inspire avision of what will be
accomplished.
Trainers prepare anappropriate environment
for learning.
Trainers inspireothers with “reallife stories”.
Cashier Trainer Tip #10• Trainers identify those who buy into
new concepts as early as possible.• Get them on your side to help network
new ideas to others.• Use them as a resource.• Look for those who have the ability and
willingness to mentor others.• Support their willingness to help.
Cashier Trainer Tip #11• Always try to find some way to help
learners visualize what you areattempting to share with them.
• They can be as simple as a hands-ondemonstration.
• Refer as much as possible to the toolbox.(CCTP 500). This section includes lotsof useful information.
Cashier Trainer Tip #12• New cashiers need to be encouraged to
do the “right thing” when faced withopposition (and they will be). What aretheir resources?
• Teach them how to handle conflict withcustomers or other people.
• Remind them that the customer isnumber 1 and is always right.
• Learners need to be reminded that theeffort of one person can have a positiveinfluence on others, so set an example.
Trainers look for those“who believe”.
Trainers use VisualAids whenever
possible todemonstrate keyconcepts.
Trainers challengelearners to make a
difference!
Cashier Trainer Tip #13• Don’t get bogged down in pointless
detail.• Does the learner know what they need to
know to do their job? Avoid “what if”questions. These will be answered bydoing the task!
• Does the trainer know the key pointsthat need to be identified. Use the newcashier training guide to keep you ontrack.
• Customer Service, Loss prevention, riskmanagement should be discussed asmuch as possible during the registertraining.
Cashier Trainer Tip #14• Stagger your presentation methods:
One cashier Observe othersBe prepared Role playsAsk questions LectureTell stories DemonstrationUse the guide Self studyUse visual aids Provide Hands-on• Be imaginative!
Cashier Trainer Tip #15• Everyday, find something to celebrate.• Catch new cashiers doing things right!
Praise loudly.• Keep new cashiers up to speed on what
progress is being made.• Recognize any outstanding
opportunities, but remain focused on thegoal.
Trainers should usethe training guideto keep them on
track.
Trainers use avariety of
facilitating methods
Trainers celebratesuccess, and encourageothers to do likewise.

CHECK OUTEMERGENCYPROCEDURES
• During a power failure, the Cashier should secure the register cashdrawer after they complete the current transaction, unless theCashier is in danger. The CSM will follow-up to be sure this isdone. The Cashier must remain at the register until notifiedotherwise by the CSM or a member of management.
• The above guidelines will also apply in the event of a fire, bombthreat, or natural disaster. The Cashier should remain calm andproject this image to our customers. It is important that theevacuation of customers be accomplished in an organised manner.All associates should be familiar with the store’s evacuation plan.
• In the event of an armed robbery, it is critical that the Cashiers andCSMs remember one key point: Wal-Mart wants no “heroes;”money can be replaced - you can not. There are three mainpoints to remember when confronted with a hold-up:
∗ Reassure the robber(s) you will cooperate in every way.∗ Stay as calm as possible.∗ Spend as much time as possible making mental notes on the
person’s build, hair colour, complexion, voice, unusualstatements, accent, what they are wearing, and any other pointsto aid in identification.

L.I.S.A. L.I.S.A. stands for Look In Side Always. When another associatecomes up to you and says, “Have you seen Lisa?” they are telling youto look inside the item you are ringing up. Every Cashier should make ita habit to always check containers which could be used to concealother merchandise, such as:
• Purses• Thermos bottles• Tackle boxes• Fabric remnants• Coolers• Garbage cans• Storage Boxes• Bedding
If there is something inside, just ring it up. Never make anaccusation. It could have been an honest mistake. It is possible thatsomeone else might have been trying to hide the item. If it does notbelong to the customer they will tell you.

B.O.B.B.O.B. stands for Bottom Of Basket. When another associate comesup to you and asks, “Have you seen Bob?” they are telling you to lookat the bottom of the basket.
Every Cashier should familiarise themselves with the use of the smallconvex mirror at the checkout. This mirror is used to view the bottomof the shopping cart.
When a customer has a large item with a two-part ticket, walk aroundthe register and remove the ticket. The Cashier should alwaysphysically handle large items; making sure smaller items are not hiddenunderneath.
Boxed items are another potential hazard. The Cashier should alwayslook inside a boxed item if the box is open or has been opened andresealed to make sure the item inside matches the carton description.

SECURITY TAPE Security Tape is necessary for purchases made at outlying registers.This coloured tape is attached to items which can not be sacked (e.g.TV’s, VCR’s, or other large items). The tape notifies Front-endAssociates that the customer has already paid for the merchandise.Before applying the tape to the merchandise, the Sales Associate must:
• Initial, date and copy transaction number on security tape.• Announce over the intercom that the security tape is leaving the
department on a particular piece of merchandise.
The tape must be removed at the Front-end by the CSM, CourtesyDesk Associate, Cashier, or Exit Greeter prior to the customer leavingthe store. The receipt must be examined to ensure themerchandise matches the receipt and the date is current.
Outgoing Parcels! – No Security Tape
Large items checked out through the front registers will not have security tape. This iswhy it is important to check the receipt for these items.
1. First, you will need tocheck the date andthe register number ofthe receipt.
2. If there is aproblem, neveraccuse theCustomer of anywrongdoing. Calla CSM and letthem handle thesituation.

ASSOCIATEINTEGRITY
To deter the possibility of associate integrity problems, the followingguidelines have been established. All associates should notify theirfriends and family of this policy.
No Cashier is to handle a transaction for:
• Themselves• Their family members• Their friends
Never put yourself in a position where your integrity could bequestioned.
In the event of dishonesty, it is Wal-Mart’s policy to terminateassociates and to prosecute whenever possible.
REGISTER TAPE Wal-Mart uses a security register receipt tape. Under a black light, the“Wal-Mart” logo will glow. It is important that the receipt tape issecure at the Front-end. Do not leave extra receipt tape at any ofthe registers. Extra receipt tape must be either secured at theCourtesy Desk or the Cash Office.
EMPTYCHECKOUTLANES
Always have the lane closed chain checkout lanes that are not beingused.
• It makes it harder for customers to leave the store by going throughan empty checkout lane.

CASH PULLS Wal-Mart’s policy is to conduct frequent cash pulls (4 times per dayfor stores over 50,000 square feet) to keep excess cash amounts fromaccumulating in the registers. The CSM is responsible for monitoringand limiting the amount of cash in the registers. Each Cashier is alsoresponsible for monitoring their cash on hand. If they notice thatexcessive currency has accumulated in their register they should call fora CSM. A member of management will make a cash pick-up (cashpull) any time excess cash accumulates in a register.
NOTE: All voids should be completed within ten (10) minutes of theoriginal transaction.
Each Wal-Mart Associate has a responsibility to maintain the highlevels of integrity established early in our Company’s history. Therewill be no compromise of standards. Theft is shrinkage and takesaway from our profit sharing. Never put yourself in a position whereyour integrity will be questioned. In the event of dishonesty, it is Wal-Mart’s policy to terminate the associate and to prosecute wheneverpossible.
CASH CONTROLFOLLOW-UPSLIP(PINK SLIP)
The Cash Office Associates count money and finalise reports from theregisters daily. Cash Control follow-up Slips will be completed by theCash Office Associate when a register shortage or overage of $5.00 ormore occurs and can not be resolved. Each associate on the registerwith the shortage or overage will receive a Cash Control follow-upSlip. The purpose of the slip is to make the associate aware of thediscrepancy. The slip must be completed and returned to the CashOffice. The associate receiving the Cash Control follow-up Slip mustreturn the slip to the Cash Office by the end of the day they receive theslip. These slips must then be retained in the personnel files.
“Integrity is a cornerstone of the Wal-Mart culture. All of us must have it in allour business dealings as well as our personal lives. What we have has taken
many years to create, but it is fragile and could easily be destroyed. Let’s protectit at all costs.”--David Glass

The Sensormatic System creates a deterrent for potentialshoplifters. Shoplifters immediately notice the pedestals at yourstore’s entrance and would rather go to another store than take onthe additional risk of activating a Sensormatic System.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIESGreeters: § Test systems daily.
• Log all tests and activations in the System Activity logbook.• Daily: Confirm the indicator # on the system corresponds with the last # in
the activity log.• Respond to ALL alarms and follow proper procedures.
Cashiers: • Deactivate all tags and remove all hard tags from the customer’s purchase.• Ensure that all merchandise being placed on layaway is deactivated. If
merchandise is being returned or being placed back out onto the floor,ensure the merchandise is re-tagged.
• Maintain the assumption that all merchandise is EAS tagged and scanaccordingly.
CSM’s: • Ensure all cashiers are trained correctly on deactivation and removal of tags.• Ensure all cashiers are clear on how front end equipment works. I.e.: slim
pad, boot deactivator and hand detacher.• React properly to all activations (if exit greeter is not present).• Complete Weekly Activity Log once a week with the log from each exit• Follow-up with cashiers who are not deactivating or removing tags from the
customer’s purchases.• Ensure all logs are being properly completed.
Front EndManagement& Assistants:
§ Check the system daily: follow up with the greeter• Use proper training: Do not assign associates to register responsibilities until
they have been instructed in the proper use of the EAS system, and havecompleted the EAS CBL
• Monitor operating procedures: cashier accountability, greeter maintenance ofSystem Activity Log, CSM involvement.
• Ensure all systems are operational, and call Field Support for any systemsissues, after checking the Troubleshooting Guide.

Label deactivation is an extremely important, yet very simpleProcedure. All labels must be deactivated at the point of sale,eliminating the possibility of embarrassing an honest customer.
The following will explain deactivation for each deactivator available.Find the deactivator that is installed in your store and review.NEVER PLACE A CREDIT CARD DIRECTLY ON ANYONEOF THE UNITS WHILE YOU ARE DEACTIVATING.
POWER PAD § To deactivate the label, simply pass the label above the dark greyarea on the pad.( no more than six inches above the pad)
• It will confirm every deactivation with an audible/visual indicator.• In the event you here a constant beeping, deactivate the product
again.• This unit is multimedia safe; therefore you can deactivate video
tapes and cassette tapes with the Power Pad.
SLIM PAD § To deactivate a label, simply pass the label above the dark greyarea of the pad ( no more than five inches above the pad)
• It will confirm every deactivation with an audible/visual indicator.PLEASE DO NOT PLACE A VIDEO TAPE OR CASSETTETAPE OVER THE SLIM PAD. USE YOUR BOOTDEACTIVATOR TO DEACTIVATE EITHER ONE OF THOSEITEMS.
BOOTDEACTIVATOR
§ To deactivate a label, simply place the flat surface of thedeactivator directly on the label pressing down. You must touchthe label to ensure 100 % deactivation.
HARD TAGREMOVAL
§ The dome portion of the tag is placed through the mount of thedetacher.
• Squeeze the end portion of the hand detacher handle.• To separate tack from tag, gently lift the tack while squeezing the
handle.The hard tag is reusable. After removal, keep the hard tag and tackseparate for further use and application.

Management should be checking the Activity Logdaily to monitor failures to deactivate. If anAssociate has an abnormally high number offailures to deactivate they may require furthertraining.
KEY POINTS • All adhesive labels must be within 3 inches of the item UPC to beproperly deactivated
• Labels on these products must be deactivated using the handdetacher with boot deactivator. The boot deactivator is simplypressed against the label - never rubbed, as this will reactivate thelabel.
• The Slim-Pad makes a sound when a label is properlydeactivated. It is crucial that the cashier recognises these sounds.
• Consistencies in one area/item likely indicate an issue with thatarea. The same operator with numerous FTDs may requireadditional one-on-one training. A high number of FTDs comingout of a single category may indicate an equipment problem orgroup of cashiers not properly deactivating labels.
• All associates must be trained by their CSM on EAS, and takethe EAS CBL before using the register.
• EAS tagged merchandise located within 6 feet of a pedestal willcause alarms. Merchandise or modulars may have to be altered toaccommodate the EAS system.

Returns and Exchanges!
You are issued with a role of green labels in order to do your job. The labels enable you toidentify items brought into the store for a return or exchange.
1. Place a label on merchandise brought into the store to be returned or exchanged. This is howthe Courtesy Desk Associates identify return merchandise that has come in through the frontdoors.
2. Place a label on each item the Customer brings into the store. If the Customer brings in abag, open the bag and place a label on each item to be returned - don't just place the labelon the bag.
3. Once the items have been ticketed, direct the Customer to theCourtesy Desk.
4. Keep the labels that are not being used in a secure area. Neverleave them unattended.
5. At closing return any unused labels to the cash office. Securingthe labels is very important. If they fell into the wrong hands itcould be used to make fraudulent refunds. This will causeshrinkage and loss of profit sharing.

2. The receiptshould beattached to thepurchased itemby the securitytape.
3. The Greeter needs to remove security tape and check the receipt matching it tothe store date and merchandise. Once the tape has been removed, destroy it.Note that the tape has perforated inserts that should come apart whenremoved.
4. If you encounter an item that does not have security tape or is not on thereceipt, do not panic. Call for a Customer Service Manager (CSM). Theyare in charge of the front end and will take care of the situation for you.Whatever you do, never accuse the Customer of anything. Always thank theCustomer for choosing Wal-Mart.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Green Labels
The tape dispenser and any backup tape must be in a secure place at all times. Ifsecurity tape was to fall into the hands of a thief, it could be used to steal a lot ofmerchandise.

Electronic Article Surveillance System
In order for the Sensormatic System to be effective, it is absolutelyessential that you respond to every customer who alarms the system.
Approaching the customer who has set off the system is the most criticalpart of the Sensormatic program. Your approach should never beaggressive, and you should never accuse or threaten a customer. Whenapproaching a customer who has set off the system, always remember tosmile, be courteous, friendly, and as discreet as possible.
An important reason to approach a customer who has set off analarm is to correct your own errors. Often the alarm goes off due toan Associate forgetting to deactivate a label at the point of sale.
The other reason for approaching the customer is that it reinforcesthe deterrent effect. If a shop-thief knows that you will respond toan alarm, they realise that they cannot practice their trade in yourstore.
The majority of alarms that youwill experience are due toAssociate error. An Associatehas forgotten to deactivate alabel at the point of sale. It iscritical we approach thecustomers in a very low-keyand non-threatening manner.
Please remember to never discussthe system and how it works infront of customers. If someoneasks what the system does orwants to know how it works, justadvise them that it is an inventorycontrol system and helps to keepthe prices lower in the store.
The Greeter’s Responsibilities1. Test system daily. Notify management of any related problems.
2. Log all tests and activations in the System Activity logbook as theyoccur.
3. Daily, confirm the indicator number on the system corresponds with the last number in theactivity log.
4. Respond to all alarms and follow proper procedures.

System Activity Log
The System Activity Log is used to record every alarm that occurs with theSensormatic System. Before the store opens for the day, the first indicatornumber must be reported on the log. Each incident will cause the digitalcounter on the alarm console to add one (1) to the indicator number. Everynumber on the counter must be accounted for on the log. Some incidentshowever will add more than one number on the console.
Example #1:A customer sets off the alarm when leaving the store. When re-entering the store the alarmgoes off again.
Example #2:A customer sets off the alarm and does not move away from the field of the pedestals. Thealarm will continue to sound and continue to add numbers to the console until the customermoves away from the field.
In these situations all the numbers, which have been added to the console for each incident,must be recorded in the System Activity Log.
The S.A.L. also monitors customers’ reactions (i.e. Was the customer pleasant, understanding,agitated, hostile). The associate who responds to the alarm also needs to enter the appropriateinformation code indicating the cause of the alarm.

BAGGING Sacks are a major expense to our Company. Therefore, it is importantto use the sack that is just big enough for the job, but is not too big.For each wrong-sized sack a Cashier uses, two cents is wasted. Becareful not to sack an item with other items that could be damaged.Following are some Do’s and Don’ts of sacking.
• DO sack like items together.• DO sack frozen and/or refrigerated items together to keep them
cold.• DO sack greeting cards and small items in a small separate sack.• DO use the correct size sack.• DO put heavy (non-breakable) items on the bottom of the sack
and lighter or breakable items on top.• DO wrap breakable items to help protect them.• DO check the lids on bottles to make sure they are tight, to

DEALING WITHCUSTOMERS
There are times when CSMs and Cashiers must deal with unpleasantsituations. Successfully handling upset customers depend on positiveattitudes.
By trying to get angry customers out of the door as quickly as possible,Wal-Mart may lose a customer for life. In addition, the averagecustomer will tell 9 to 10 other people about the bad experience.Providing good customer service to an unhappy customer, andresolving their problems effectively, will keep that customer’s businessfor life.
WHAT TO DO The most important factor in resolving conflict is ATTITUDE. If theconfrontation is avoided, or not corrected, good customer service hasnot been provided. Look at an unhappy customer as a challenge. Thisis an opportunity to exceed the customer’s expectations. Rememberthat customers are not only external but also internal.
In order to effectively handle customer conflicts:
• Smile and greet the customer enthusiastically. Smiling is veryimportant. It is hard to be angry with someone who is smiling.When you ask, “May I help you?” you are inviting the customer toexplain what has happened. Remember to remain calm at all times.
• Listen to the customer’s problem. Do not interrupt them. Manycustomers just want to tell you about their problem. If necessary,take the customer to a place where they will have your undividedattention. Ask the customer questions and find out:∗ What happened to make them upset?∗ How they want you to fix the problem?

REGISTER TRAINING CCTP-503
Training & Development Dept. 2003 Page 11 of 10
WHAT TO DO(CONT’D)
• Repeat what the customer has said. This accomplishes severalgoals:∗ Repetition makes sure all of the facts are correct.∗ The customers know that their problem is understood.∗ Knowing exactly what happened will help determine the best
way to correct the situation.• Use the customer’s name whenever possible. Our Company’s
CHANT (Customers Have A Name Too) program encourages allassociates to call customers by name whenever possible.
• Ignore abusive language. Do not take a customer’s angerpersonally. The customer may have had a bad day before enteringthe store. Whatever happened may have set them off. When acustomer is abusive, think of it as a challenge to exceed theirexpectations.
• Respond to the customer. Do not make the customer wait anylonger than necessary. If you or another associate have made anerror, apologise sincerely.
• If the customer is angry about a particular policy or procedure:∗ Explain why Wal-Mart has the policy or procedure.∗ Ask the customer if they understand why Wal-Mart has the
policy. The customer may agree that the policy is in the bestinterest of the customers and the Company.
∗ If the customer does not agree, and there is no way to correctthe problem; acknowledge the problem and repeat the originalexplanation. At this point there may be nothing else to do.Call a member of management if necessary.
∗ Remember, smile and be courteous at all times.• Talk softly whenever a customer raises their voice. A softening
voice tone can calm an angry customer.• If the problem is something you can not correct:
∗ Call a member of management immediately.∗ If possible, stay with the customer until management arrives.∗ When management arrives, introduce them to the customer.∗ Tell management what happened to make the customer upset.

SUPPRESSEDUPC
A suppressed UPC is a barcode that has been reduced from thenormal 10-digit barcode to a 6-digit barcode. A suppressedbarcode will always have a zero to the left of the barcode knownas the number system character. These are typically found onDepartment 01 items (e.g. gum, candy bars).

ELEVEN DIGIT/CHECK DIGITBARCODE
This type of barcode is very similar to a normal UPC, except itwill always have a digit to the left of the barcode known as anumber system character. If this digit is a “3,” “4,” or “7,” key itin as part of the barcode. If the number system character isanything other than a “3,” “4,” or “7,” it should be ignored and thebarcode treated as a normal UPC. Often the Eleven Digit/CheckDigit Barcode will also have a check digit. As with the normalUPC barcode, this check digit should be ignored.

On a few items, mostly bedding, there is a barcode with twelvedigits instead of the normal ten. The middle ten digits are whatWal-Mart uses. When hand scanning, drop the first and lastdigits.
EXAMPLE: Twelve Digit Barcode
VISUAL VERIFY The guidelines that apply to look-up numbers also apply to visualverify numbers. Visual verify numbers are used for items that arenot scannable and have multiple price points. Visual verifynumbers do not have a specific price, therefore the Cashier mustkey in the price. The authorised codes are:
� Prescriptions, Pharmacy 38� Licenses (Fishing, Hunting) 902� Processed Film The barcode on the package
will activate a prompt for visual verify.

BARCODES
FABRICTICKETS
When the customer brings cut fabric to the checkouts, it will havea scannable fabric ticket attached. The fabric ticket containsbarcodes that indicate the product and its length. When theCashier scans both barcodes, the register will calculate the priceand print the price per yard, amount purchased, and the extendedprice on the receipt. The Cashier must destroy the fabric tickets atthe time of purchase for proper control.
EXAMPLE: Fabric Ticket
RINGING SALE Customer will present two fabric sales slips with his/her purchasesat the checkout registers (one copy is kept by the cashier, and thesecond copy goes with the customer's purchase).The cashier must compare each merchandise item with the entrieson the sales slip (customer could easily switch fabric pieces aftersales slip is written up).Questionable items or entries should require a price check by thesales associate or Department Manager in Fabrics. Ring eachindividual item by total amount. Proceed with sale per standardprocedure. Fabric sales slip is to be cancelled by use of felt pen,making an "X" on the face of slip to prevent ticket from beingreused. Ticket is to remain attached to purchase as proof of saleshould customer have need in returning.
