Obligatory first time post, on phone etc.
This happened around 2 hours ago, as I type this, I'm waiting for my train home. I work at Asda (UK version of Walmart) as a service host. Today I was on checkouts. As per my training, we learned the basics on how to scan everything through, employee discounts and a few different types of gift card. A woman came in with her shopping with a couple of healthy food vouchers, fairly normal. However, these vouchers work slightly differently than other gift cards, which I didn't know. It wasn't scanning through, so I type the bar code I see and press gift card on the till. It then printed the receipt, which was confusing, so I called one of my managers over to see what the issue was. Turns out, when you type a number and press gift card, the number typed is the amount on the gift card you're spending. The number I typed meant I would've had to give the woman over £2 million change! Luckily, my managers managed to sort the issue, she isn't rich now (unfortunately for her) and I still have a job thank god.
TLDR: Typed the wrong sequence in the till meaning I would've had to pay over £2 million in change
