Trying to skim 6 bucks? Not likely
Think you just had a bunch of part time people that had a rough day, inexperienced and half hearted. I expect no less at track, save a full meet like SPA were the folks are excellent because they make good money and know they have a 60 day confirmed great place to work and earn.

BTW you really use tellers? Between ADW's and machines, teller's have to have most risk right?

Isn't the definition of "skimming" taking a small amount so it is not detected?

6-10$ from 70-80 bettor's coming to your window that day adds up.

There are probably tellers that used to skim here and there when possible, but I think that has to do because the days of them making tip money are over. Lets face it, I would think a high percentage of real bettors (not the $2 to win crowd) now use their accounts to play. Which means when they cash a ticket, or make a decent score, they don't feel obligated to tip the teller who put the bet in for them. I would think some of the old time tellers who knew the local crowd, could have some really good days based on tips alone. Now that money is gone, maybe they need to pull the old skimming trick out of the bag.

times how many people at the window? skim off a hundred people, and you just made 600 bucks.

yep. and I wouldn't think it was skimming...but when the teller got so defensive when the mistake was pointed out, that's just odd.
years ago I worked for a vending company. one driver used to be right on with his money. and then he started being short each week, 40-60 bucks. not any one big shortage, a dollar here, a dollar there in his machines. he was let go. and at his next job, he was arrested for stealing.

I was indicted, never convicted.
