So I work at a small boutique that sells t-shirts, gifts, cards, novelties, and baby items. Instead of cash registers, we have old-skool imacs on top of cash drawer. These imacs are prone to freezing and breaking down, and today one did.
So, we get it started back up again, everything goes as normal. I take my lunch break, come back, and I look at the time. 2:38? What? I left at 3:00
What?
2:38 ... in the morning?
I check the date. 1/1/04.
Not 2004.
1904.
As my boss was dicking around with it attempting to fix it, he accidentally had me clocked in from 1904 to today.
I said, I quit, give me my back pay, I'll sue.
He didn't find it funny.
Eventually we got it all worked out.
Rest of the day passes without incident... I count out the register that acted up, and holy crap, we're a hunnerd and some-odd dollars over.
Uhh?
The most we've been off in my tenure there has been 8 dollars. How does one go about accidentally acquiring 107 dollars in the course of a day?
Then we realized - we were only counting purchases posted to 12/4/2005!
Not 1/1/1904!
You guys have any similar experiences?
