Screwing up at work

Well I work in a Met Food supermarket that my cousin owns. I do a little bit of everything, but i'm mainly a cashier. So anyway, for cashiers, when we get a lot of cash in the register we put aside $800 (in the unlikely event that someone robs a supermarket in SOHO) and give it to the office people, and this is known as a pick up. So anyway, i've been working there for nearly 3 years. Just a year ago we had to start counting our cash registers at the end of the day in another room. We used to do it in the upstairs office, but I guess they didn't trust us up there anymore or something.

So it's the end of my shift, and I have to count my money. I had a pick up. (remember this is $800 we're talking about here.) So I ask for my printout (the sheet that tells us how much we earned for the day) from the girl that works in the office. When she sent it down to me i did the usual and offered to give her the pick up then. For some reason she decided that was a good day to tell me to just add it to my sales. Now when we get a pickup, we get a seperate printout sheet to go with it. It has our names, and everything. I like to wrap the money with the paper, which is what I did this time. So i'm in the room downstairs counting my box, everything came out OK, and I wasn't short or anything, but... I forgot my pickup downstairs. **note** the downstairs area is EMPLOYEES ONLY! **/note** Unfortunatly, I didn't know I forgot it till the next day where one of the managers asked me what the heck happened to it. At this point, i'm in panic/anger mode. It's nowhere to be found. Even better is that this goddamn room that they make us count in now has NO camera. Great idea asshole cousin, let's make all my workers count thousands of dollars in a room without a camera!

So, here's what could have happened:

- 1. Someone cleaned out that room, and since the money was wrapped in that paper, thought it was garbage.

- 2. Someone knew exactly what it was, stole it, and to this day got away with it. Oh, and since it has my name on it, they know it was mine. That makes me even more pissed off about it since I generally never had any issues with anybody at my job.

So I have to take part of my pay out every week to pay this back piece by piece. I have $550 left to pay back...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
