Audits:
You could have an assignment at a Department store where you have to check pricing vs. what appears in the registers. This type of assignment pays $10/$12 per hour and usually takes an Hour and a half to complete. You will need to bring a calculator with you. For this shop, you walk around the store with someone from Management and pick out clothing/merchandise items from different departments to price check. You would write the SKU’s down and the Sale Sign Price/Percentages. You would proceed to the registers where the Manager price checks these items. You have to document whether they are an overchange/undercharge and figure the percentage. You subtract the errors from the total amount to determine the percentage.
