Could be the cashier is skimming, too.
That may be, but tapes are time stamped. or should be. It wouldn't take the IRS much time to figure that one out. In fact, they can just about figure your projected gross by the ultilities used. Contractors like to load similar materials from 2 jobs into one and report one while cashing the checks on the 2nd. Works for a time, but they get caught when they get greedy. The IRS just has too much information and too many formulas. If you don't fit the parameters, figure on an audit.

I'd put a camera on that cashier.
