Cashier’s tray

Answer:

TILL

Hint:

Think of where coins and bills are sorted and stored at a checkout counter, often with a sliding drawer.

Explanation:

A cashier’s tray is where money is kept and transactions are handled in a store, which is commonly called a "till." The word is short and direct, often seen in retail or banking settings. There’s no hidden wordplay here—it’s a straightforward definition matching the object to its everyday name. Think of the drawer that opens when you pay at a checkout counter.
