This sounds like a separate, but related novel version of these scams that target Walmart's employee. You might want to report this to the FTC via the contact info in the article so they can be on the lookout for stuff like this in there investigations.

There was actually a news article with the exact scenario. I showed it to my daughter at the counter as a way to get her to slow down and think.

Can you post a link to the article? I’m having a hard time understanding the scam based on your comment.

Someone called the daughter (a Walmart employee) on the phone and convinced her they were an "auditor" for Walmart.
They convinced the daughter to take cash (from the register? from the safe?) to another store and almost convinced her send it to a green dot card (some kind of debit card?).
