Working for nothing.

A couple of days ago, I went to my job as normal and when one of the managers counted my drawer I was surprisingly $100 short! This is exactly what I wanted to hear first thing right in the morning as my shift started. Not! I was and am still baffled by this. I am no thief. I have been with my job for almost 10 years. I would never jeopardize that. Thankfully my higher up believes me too. But it still didn't matter. The money was gone so I had to pay. I wasn't going down without a fight though. I demanded to look at the cameras. And so we did. Clearly the two $100 bills were in my drawer before I pulled it to count it. When I pulled it to count it, only one of the $100 bills was in there, but at that time I thought there was only one $100 bill. My manager swears up and down she had put two of them in there. Unfortunately the cameras suck so bad and are so blurry you can't really tell at what time it disappeared or from whom. So I ended up paying almost $70 worth of it even though I didn't do anything wrong! I worked for basically nothing that day. My higher up boss said I shouldn't have done that and it should be split three ways since two of the managers were also in my drawer. I smell a thief BIG time, but can't prove it right now. I still find this totally unfair that I have to pay back money that got lost or taken just because the name was in my drawer. I got held completely responsible for it. I hate being at a job where I don't feel I can trust the people I work with and the fact that I am losing money too and fear having to pay back money if my drawer comes up short! I am in the process of filling out applications elsewhere and hopefully I hear back from somebody. I just can't take the lies and the stress anymore. I never had this problem at my other stores or with other managers. I would come to work, do my job, make some money and leave worry free. Nope not anymore.
