How is cash handled during a register sweep?

During a register sweep, cash must be dropped off in a drop safe by a designated employee to ensure security and accountability. This process minimizes the risk of theft or loss by removing cash from the register and securely storing it in a safe location until it can be processed or counted later. The handling of cash in this manner is part of standard operating procedures designed to protect the store's assets while also maintaining an organized and secure cash management system. Proper cash handling during these sweeps helps in accounting accuracy and reduces the likelihood of discrepancies.
