I may have just made a huge mistake at work, I need to figure out what to do ASAP.
I started a new bartending job that uses lo-tech cash register and credit card systems. Anyway, with minimal training, I closed up by myself today. I printed out the ticket reports from the registers, and it seems like after I took the bank cash (what I filled the register with to start) and my credit carts tips out in cash, the drop was only $2. I'm very very exhausted and stayed after closing until 7 am trying to figure it out. Either I did the report completely wrong, the register came out exactly even, or I somehow lost $100. I already left a note in the money drop to the manager that I was unsure if I had understood/ filled out the closing procedure correctly. Should I text him the same? What specific wording should I use? I really don't want to lose this job, and I'm worried I did something wrong, but am not sure how to convey this to the manager. What would you text in my situation?
