HARVEST CASHIER INSTRUCTIONS
Please note that there are sometimes messages in the bag that need to be left in the Harvest or given to some Reba person if they come to shop. Please have them ready.
0. Put the Stool with masks, Hand Sanitizer, and Signs by the door of the Harvest
Prepare to cash in: Remove the key and replace it with the key with the leather tab in the plastic pouch,
Turn the control lever on the register to Z and press the TOTAL key . Any former transactions will print out and the machine will be cleared for today’s operations.
Turn the lever to REG.
2. Cash in: Count the money in the green zipper pouch and the clear plastic wallet. Enter the total on the keypad and hit RA. The cash on hand will print out. Put the cash in the drawer.
3.
Ring up any sales that are waiting in the bag or on the register: (see “To ring up a sale” #4 below) checks or envelopes of cash. The purchaser should have noted the subtotal and the tax. Enter the subtotal and press the appropriate key (food or non-food), then Total. See instruction #4. The register will figure the tax and print out the total, which should match the money that has been left.
If the customer did not indicate what part of the check is tax, you must calculate it. Divide the total by 1.0125 (for food from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023) or 1.1025 (for non-food). The answer you get is a little smaller than the total payment. It is the subtotal. You enter this in the register, the register calculates the tax, and the total amount (should be the same as the money left) prints out.
4.
To ring up a sale: Enter the amount of each item as the customer reads it to you, then hit either the food, the non-food, or the dues key or the “Tax already paid #”4 key. Do not enter decimal points, the machine does it for you. Read each amount in the window to be sure it is correct. You do not need to keep food and non-food separate – the machine does that for you. The numbered department keys are as follows:
Food
Non-food
Dues
No-tax and “Tax already Paid”
When every item has been registered, if the person is paying cash, hit Sub to show the total the customer owes. When she gives you the money, enter the amount she gives and hit Total. The amount of change you must give will appear in the window. If she gives exact change, just hit Total. If she pays by check, just hit Total to give the total owing. The sale is completed and the tape advances. Circle the total, write the person’s name against it, and write “ck” if she paid by check.
5.
To make a correction: (See the card on the front of the register.) When you look in the window after entering an amount, if it is wrong, hit C to clear that entry. If you have already hit the food or non-food button, hit void and the entry will be reversed. If you have already gone on to enter more amounts when you notice the mistake, type the incorrect amount, then void, then the correct department key (food, etc.). The entry will be subtracted. Then go on to enter that item correctly.
If you have already finished the sale and pressed TOTAL, you will need to void the whole sale and ring it up again. If the sale includes both food and other departments, you will have to void each item:
$$.$$ VOID department key
$$.$$ VOID department key
etc.
TOTAL
When you hit total the machine will print a minus total of all the voids. Then you will have to ring up all those items correctly and get a new total.
If the sale included only food, you can void it by typing the SUBTOTAL (before tax), then hitting VOID, then FOOD (1), then TOTAL. The machine will print out a minus total. It should be the same as the wrong plus total. Then you can ring up the sale again.
6.
At the end of the day: Turn the lever to Z and push the Total key. The “Z-tape” accounting for the day will print out. See example on last page. Turn the lever back to R2 or R1.
7.
Fill in the report form: The top section you copy from the Z tape totals. See the numbered example on the back page. The middle section you must calculate. Add together the T1 sales and the T1 taxes and enter the total on the FOOD line. Add together the T2 sales and the T2 taxes and enter the total on the NON-FOOD line. (for DUES and NO-TAX there is nothing to add, just copy the numbers.) The total in the middle section should equal TOTAL SALES in the top section. The bottom section is the money in the register. Add together all the checks and enter the total, then the total of each kind of money. All this added together should equal the total of the top section: the money collected from sales plus the money you started with.
See the Z-tape description on the next page.
