A day in the work
A typical shift involves standing at a change booth or booth window exchanging money for chips, tokens, or coins as patrons request. Change persons restock their cash drawers, verify transactions, and maintain accurate records. At shift start, they receive a money bank and count it; at shift end, they audit all cash and reconcile drawer amounts.
