I was a supermarket cashier back when I was in high school, and if you got caught putting your own money in to make your drawer balance you'd get written up for it.

Years ago when I was a cashier that was the rule as well. I even got written up for taking care of a customer who was a few dollars short and had no other form of payment; I was told I should have just done a price adjustment on one of their items, I guess they didn't want a potential lawsuit.

I heard of a woman who worked at a bank who had trouble "balancing" then suddenly didn't. Management got suspicious and started putting the wrong amount of cash in, she still balanced. And obviously was fired.
