I used to work at a cash centre. All the security trucks would collect cash from businesses during the day. We would open the packages credit their accounts and the cash would be bundled and shipped back out to banks and cash machines. I worked the night shift and it became an unwritten rule that when you finished your work you could go. Well one evening we had a new manager singled me out to stay and help the team who loaded the money for cash machines. Now this was a job I had never done before. I tried to ask a few questions like how much do we put in each bundle how much should, we have in each box only to be met with an aggressive “just out the cash in the box. It’s not rocket science”. Ok you’re the boss. So I put the cash in the box when the box was full I pushed the cash down and fit even more in. I kept going until I physically could put another note in and used all my weight to close the cash box.

Well it turns out they were only supposed to contain £100k and the shit hit the fan when they did the last checks and they thought they were £65k short. They ordered a full recount of all the boxes. When the one I had packed was opened it practically exploded, there was cash everywhere, one of the girls who worked the section was stunned you could actually fit that much in one of the boxes. I would like say I had the told you so moment of being confronted but the manager said nothing and once the boxes were re packed I went home. I never got asked to cover that section again though.
