A discount can be a sensible way to close a sale, but repeated overrides can quietly remove the margin on popular products.

## Define an exception

Set thresholds for percentage or amount by staff role. Require a reason for discounts outside a planned promotion.

## Inspect the sample

Each week, review the largest discounts and several random ones. Compare item cost, payment fees, and returned goods before judging whether the sale was worthwhile.

## Feed back fairly

Share patterns with the team and fix confusing price labels or promotions. Treat one mistake as coaching; investigate repeated unexplained overrides separately.
