ABSTRACT:
A system and method for detecting the under ringing and/or sliding of merchandise by a cashier in a retail establishment is disclosed including the use of a system employing many cash registers and cashiers. The cash register system compiles raw cash register data which includes total items sold and dollar sales of the items sold by each cashier on each day a cashier works. A cash register database stores the cash register data in a medium for processing on a central computer. A computer program including instruction for averaging data is embodied in computer-readable forms to determine a daily average price of the items sold by each cashier per cashier day and a store average item price representing the average of all cashier average item prices of all qualifying cashiers during a specified period. A cashier database is generated which includes the daily cashier average item prices. Comparative instructions analyze the daily cashier average item price for each cashier and the store average item price to determine a daily deviation of each cashier from the store average item price, and for calculating a total cashier deviation for each cashier by algebraic summing of the daily deviations of each cashier. Generating a report to identify a cashier deviation which is statistically significantly different from other cashiers.
