The place was dead, I was the only person in the drive thru. When I pulled up and read the total, it was the total of a previous customer, who had left before I had even gotten there. It should have read my total, but it didn't.
So, she charged me the correct price for my order, she just didn't put the order into the computer. That way she can steal the money because there is no record of any order being taken, which means that her drawer will come up even.
I used to work at a pizza place, we had a buffet for $6. The girl behind the counter would keep the drawer open and hand people their change without ringing the order in. If she did this 6 times, she could take $36 from the drawer and it would still be an even drawer. Pretty dishonest, but I think this is a very common practice in businesses, especially in food service where inventory is never as exact as in, say, an electronics store.
