Description of the activity and instructions

Assume that you are a cashier, and your manager requires that you immediately enter each sale when it occurs. Recently, lunch hour traffic has increased, and the assistant manager asks you to avoid delays by taking customers’ cash and making change without entering sales. The assistant manager says she will add up cash and enter sales after lunch. She says that, in this way, customers will be happy to, and the register record will always match the cash amount when the manager arrives at three o’clock.

The advantages to the process proposed by the assistant manager include improved customer service, fewer delays, and less work for you. The disadvantage is that the assistant manager could steal cash by simply recording less sales than the cash received and them pocketing the excess cash. You decide to reject her suggestion without the manager’s approval and to confront her on the ethics of her suggestion.

Propose, evaluate and clearly indicate two courses of action that you might consider and explain why. Give the advantages and disadvantages of each proposal.
