Cash Registers

A cash register is a mechanical or electronic device for calculating and recording sales transactions, and an attached cash drawer for storing currency . Usually the cash register also prints a receipt for the customer.

Usually the drawer can be opened only after recording a sale, except when using a special key , which only senior personnel or the owner has. This reduces the risk of personnel stealing from the shop owner by not recording a sale and pocketing the money, in the case that the customer does not require a receipt and has to be given change (cash is more easily checked against recorded sales than inventory ). In fact, cash registers were first invented for the purpose of eliminating employee theft. The first registers were entirely mechanical, without receipts. The employee was required to ring up every transaction on the register, and when the total key was pushed, the drawer opened and a bell would ring, alerting the manager to a sale taking place. Those original machines were nothing but simple adding machines.
