multiple times okay I mean for 1400 that that adds up if you're taking it at 20 you know $20 that's how he said they added it up and stuff like that but that's that's I know that's what I take like I and when when did you start again December uh I don't remember when it started 12 14 and stuff like that all well let me talk to the manager and I'll come back okay you mind saying T So essentially she was saying that uh if customers overpaid that she would take that money and then if and then she would void accounts how exactly here's what happen so um you come up lot ofal customers this is 1995 hey how you doing never corit all cash sales 1995 that be 1995 sir and then um perfect you want to make a copy of this do you need the original or would you like the we can take copy of that make a copy keep me the original do we even need one of their witness yeah we don't even need one so what you see on video is um and we're more we could actually we had One queued up if you want to see it she comes up 1995 and that she's say 1995 the customer will give them a lot of times 20 or 19 and 95 most of them around here kind of they they don't want the 5 cents they don't care so she would push the bag for them and then she of delay and if they turn and walk away they had not even hit how much they gave her she hits mid void that sale is no and void as if they went oh I don't have my money drawer never pops open they go off with it and into the pocket or under yes sir and so that happened so in some cases they gave exact change I don't want the receipt in other cases they and she'd say don't worry about the extra amount and they would go off and I saw her put them under the keyboard under the drawer in her pocket she did it a number of different ways basically so that's how she that's how you take their mid boid it's a very easy way to take cash did you get her identification uh no I'll take that from uh is there a way I can pull up back to get her out the back or do I have
