Probably the boss... this happens all over the place and not just in McDonalds. Does your boss do the counting? If so, do it yourself first to be sure that they aren't the culprit.

Yep you're being ripped off then. I hate to tell you this, but it will happen three or four times more and you'll probably lose your job as a thief to cover up for them. All I can suggest is going over their heads to regional management or something and hope they send in some auditors, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Oh my lord....I have to be wary of everyone then? I remember I was in the staff room looking glum and a nice lady who has been there for years said to me watch the employees becuase she has lost loads of her money inside mcdonalds and not from the till....I don't know what to do I can't excuse anyone of stealing as I am new, and I can;t count my own till becuase mangers won't let me and as soon as my back is turned and doing another order I am accused as slow and someone else is using my till to do an order....
As soon as I get my a level results I am giving in my notice am going to uni in sept 23rd so I can rough it out a few more weeks....it just aint fair,...........I wouldn't probably be complaining if it was a nice round tenner becuase fair enough i could of acciently taken that out and over paid a customer....but £12? after a prefect record? i think not...

It could have just been a mistake by the manager. I know that a couple of weeks ago my manager was counting the money out of my til and it was £10 down. She counted it again just to be sure and she had missed a 10 pound note so my till was ok.

If it is a large amunt like that again, maybe just ask for a recount.

That is a good point but with the whole not being allowed a break thing it sounds as if the OP is being victimised a bit to me.

Make sure your till isnt up £12 the next day - if it is then you can be sure its your managers fault for counting it wrongly - I bet they dont tell you if your till is up do they?

On your last day make sure you pour a mcflurry all over your manager's head.

Tbh if I was you I'd stand up for myself a bit more, if your contract says you get x amount of breaks, make sure you get them, and do not let them dock your ages just because your till is down.

Make sure you count your float at the start of your shift before you take any orders and make sure you witness your till being cashed up. Make sure your till is locked when you go on a break or to do a cleaning job. Note the order number and you know it has been used or opened if the order number has changed. Then the manager is legally in charge for it and not you.

Just a few things to help you in the future. If your manager does not let you witness cashing up or let you have time to count your float before you take your first order, then they are responsible for that till LEGALLY.
