When I worked in an arcade, all change given out by employees had to be laid out on the counter. The bill the customer gave you to the left, and the change you’re giving them on the right. People tried to accuse us of short-changing them all the time.
I also have a great story of the time a woman claimed she put a $20 bill into a changer, and got nothing. So, I grab the crank, and pull open the changer. I check the feed, nothing. I check the stacks (this was early in the day); just $12 in ones and a fiver. Felt good to call her out on the lie. She left quickly.
