Look, I work every day in retail hell at Walmart so I know a thing or to about corporate IT.
You can't just stick a note in the drawer anymore and hand someone some cash when the register gets screwed up. None of the millions of register transactions are recorded by hand, do you know how big a shit load of work that would be? So the whole system is automated, Argo a unrecorded sale means missing money which translates into real shrink simply because it was unrecorded. I don't think you fully understand, but in corporate accounting an unrecorded transaction means you shrink out that amount, and modern systems don't allow for notes in drawers. If I, my manger, my co manger, my district manger, or even my market manger popped my drawer, robbed it of some of its cash, and stuck in a note explaining my actions, I can't begin to fathom the shit load of trouble I, and the company would be in to say the least.
The solution is you fix the IT, you hack the system, so your ass is covered.
I stand by the manager, you don't rob the drawer, and you don't subsidize modern accounting for post it notes. And If they can't fix it tough shit that's business.
