The day, hour by hour
At 06:30
OwnerStart of the dayHalf six, the first builders are at the door: open the till and go.
Papers in, shutters up. Signing in opens the till with last night's float filled in, and the day starts in one tap.

Owner at the counterThe school run: ten people want milk and bread at once.
Milk, bread and a queue. Quick keys for the everyday things, a basket that adds itself up, and cash or the tab.

Owner at the counterA plug-in scanner on the counter, and a biscuit the till has never seen.
Scan to sell at the till. Plug in a USB or Bluetooth scanner and test it, scan to sell, scan a multipack for its pack, and add an unknown code without leaving the sale.

OwnerHe wants cash, and tonight the drawer still has to make sense.
Paying the bread man from the till. Cash out records money paid from the drawer, so the evening count still adds up.

Owner at the counterTom the builder will pay on Friday, like every week.
The corner shop tab, without the notebook. A name and an amount, checked against his limit, with a receipt he gets on WhatsApp.

OwnerA few regulars are behind on the tab, and nobody likes being chased.
Who is late, and who to leave alone. The longest-owed first, STOP respected, reminders sent from her own WhatsApp, and a payment taken at the till.

OwnerSixteen hours open: does the till add up, and who still owes?
Closing up at ten. Counted against expected with the cash out and the tab payments already in, then the day in one message.
