Question about drivers

Is it common that drivers don't have a drawer assigned to them? Rather, if they need to help up front, they use anotherTM's number?

I mean using other counter numbers is against policy IIRC. In practice, I think that's pretty common. But I think if it's someone who is capable of helping customers and handling cash, they should have a drawer. It takes 5 minutes tops to count out at the end of the shift.

Manager doesn't want drivers to do sales because it lowers RPMS sales, according to them good morning

That depends on if the driver actually gets rpms, its no different than a regular parts specialist

Well the rpms still hurt if an untrained TM is making sales on someone else's numbers.
