Ueoka: Yes, I know we don't have many cash sales, but we make sure we keep a record,
<br />if I can just make some quick comments, and also whenever alcohol is sold if that person
<br />did sell any, we made sure that we did have a manager present at the time. I appreciate the
<br />Department's efforts to do the investigation and they were very thorough on it, but as far as
<br />when he sold to the best of our knowledge, was always a manager was there. I know he had
<br />to sign the employee code that he was the person that closed the transaction, but as far as we
<br />recall, a manager was present at all times, maybe if you want to say anything more, Dawn?
<br />Crozier: It's American Express because we don't accept cash, so if someone does have cash,
<br />it's rung under a credit card that's kept on file, so that we can accommodate all of our
<br />customers there, so that's why you see American Express a lot, instead of the cash.
<br />Davenport: So, American Express is treated as cash?
<br />Crozier: No, it's an American Express credit card, so basically it's my credit card and I take
<br />the cash for the day because we don't have bank deposits or anything like that. So, we can't
<br />be strictly no cash because we have so many customers who pay with cash, so this is our
<br />work around to do that. So, if there are a lot of American Express but it's the same number,
<br />it's my card, so it might have been cash for that day.
<br />Davenport: So, and then another question on page 4 of 48, the second paragraph, where
<br />it starts, "CROZIER then stated that SOISTIVIAN didn't even sign in yet because he had just
<br />gotten there an hour ago." So, I would think if I had an employee coming to work, he's not
<br />waiting an hour to sign in?
<br />Crozier: He had not signed the timesheet yet.
<br />Davenport: But yet he's selling though correct?
<br />Crozier: He was on duty, yes he was there to work, but he had not put his time down.
<br />Davenport: So that hour?
<br />Crozier: He was technically working and he put his time down at the end of his shift. We don't
<br />have a clock because we don't have electricity.
<br />Fuke: Anymore questions? I just have a few, maybe it's kind of directed to you or maybe to
<br />the staff, but I noticed that some of the sales were to you, so I guess maybe it's a question of
<br />the Department, so if for example the minor was like an adult 21 and above, would that have
<br />been a violation selling it to you because you are already a PIAC (person in active charge),
<br />right?
<br />Crozier: Yes, it would be.
<br />Takase: Well, if she was there on premises, I don't think we would have
<br />Crozier: I'm the PIAC (person in active charge), I would be at work so technically it covers the
<br />rule, right? But he wouldn't be selling it too, like he wouldn't be underage selling it, I was on
<br />duty I haven't left for the day.
