See my other comment, there was for some reason an incentive to NOT account for this. It seems stupid now that I’m out in the real world, but when you’re making £5/hour:
- you don’t really feel empowered to challenge this sort of thing
- stock or till shortfalls of small amounts like £20 that are threatened to come out of your paycheque feel much more serious than they were, especially when you’re a student in an expensive city and that £20 feeds you for a week
- the reason it happened is often known, there’s just a reluctance to account for it correctly. We are taking about very small amounts here
