Keep in MindRead these notes before you begin. They provide useful information you should remember as you proceed with each of the steps.

• Pressing “F12” will complete any transaction.• When you press “F12”:

• The cash drawer will automatically open.• The receipt will automatically print.

• If there is a leftover balance in the “Undefined” box, the register will not open and a receipt will not print.

• If a debit/credit card is used at any point in the transaction, two receipts will automatically print: one for the customer to keep and one for the other for the customer to sign for the store’s records.

• Always close the cash register after every transaction. • Always state the exchange policy with each transaction:

• “American Apparel does not offer refunds, only store credit or item exchanges. All accessory sales are final.”
