it was the same with the plcae i used to work at. at the end of every night, my boss would have me write down the instant ticket numbers, and then he would take a look at the sales reports for the day, and then he would count the drawer for the night.
I've redone my website. Go to www.dr-ew.com. I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff. Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks. | | |

Too many Ma & Pa stores selling tickets have to hire outside of family. These stores depend on honest family members working cheap and non-family members aren't cheap or honest. They usually go out of business without family support. * that which happens most * * is most likely to happen again *
