Where should bait money orders be stored?

The appropriate location for storing bait money orders is under the largest currency denomination compartment in your cash drawer. This method is beneficial for ensuring that the bait money is not easily accessible or visible to potential thieves, as it blends in with the higher currency notes. By keeping it within the cash drawer, the money orders are protected while still being within reach for authorized transactions.

Storing bait money orders in the cash drawer also allows for better control and monitoring, as cash drawers are typically secured when closed and regularly managed by the associates. Properly situating bait money in this manner helps bolster security measures in postal locations, minimizing risk during any potential robbery incidents. This practice aligns with USPS policies aimed at enhancing safety for both employees and customers.
