Cash drawer sharing is an open invitation for problems, we have an Arabic Proverb that says "Loose Money……Teaches Theft", if I am a teller and using my own cash drawer knowing I will be held accountable for all differences, I will guard it with my Life.

I once had a branch that on Saturday mornings was staffed with relief tellers. It was mandatory that every relief teller had her own cash drawer and no drawers were ever shared. Never ever compromise on this issue!
