What are some of the common methods of fraud at the POS (Point of Sale)?
Cashiers can commit fraud against either the employer, the customer or both. A cashier can charge an item to the customer which the customer did not buy and keep the item for themselves. A Text Inserter helps detect this type of fraud because the item charged was not what or in the quantity the customer brought to the counter. A cashier can charge an item to the customer which the customer did not buy and then, after the customer leaves, refund the item and keep cash for themselves. A Text Inserter helps detect this type of fraud because the item was not refunded to the customer. A cashier can charge an item to another department such as charging groceries on the department for lottery tickets. The customer leaves the store with the groceries they wanted at the price they expected. Later the cashier leaves the store with the easy to conceal lottery tickets. A Text Inserter helps detect this type of fraud because you can see what the items are and what the cashier is ringing up.
