He rang in "No Sale" a few times, pocketed the customers' money and took to the street.
BTW, the sentence is talking of a poor boy who stole money. What does the phrase "No Sale" mean?
@Nancy88,
"No Sale" refers to a feature on an old-fashioned cash register.
Quote:Cash registers include a key labeled "NS", which is abbreviated for "No Sale", and opens the drawer,
printing a receipt stating "No Sale" and recording it in the register log that the register was opened.
