Shift not opened

Till 1 has a shift open for Tess Mwende. They close it or hand it over to you, or choose another till.

A till has one shift at a time. Someone opened a shift on the till you chose, here just before you tapped Open shift, so Kila did not open yours. Once the till list catches up, it says Open for and their name.
