Description

The register holds the shop's float. Employees can put money in, or get money from the register as with any other container, and all additions and removals are logged.

The shop's log allows employees to log a sale or purchase to verify the actions they have taken. This allows managers and supervisors to confirm that employees are not taking advantage of the shop as all stock movements, register adjustments and log entries should match up.
