Dismisses employees who take money? (8)
I believe the answer is:
cashiers
'dismisses' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'employees who take money?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'take' could be 'r' (abbreviation for 'recipe', Latin for 'take') and 'r' is located in the answer.
'money?' could be 'cash' (cash is a type of money) and 'cash' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cashiers that I've seen before include "They deal with money" , "Dismisses from army in disgrace, like bank clerks" , "They handle money" , "sacks" .)
