Is it correct to say “Open shift”?

Question

Is it correct to say open shift and close shift or is it more preferred to use begin shift and close shift? By opening shift, I mean it from the perspective of the worker that uses a cash register or cash drawer: https://www.thebalancesmb.com/balancing-a-cash-register-2890536

Answer 1

No, that's not normal usage.

We would say:

I am going to work the opening shift.
I am going to work the closing shift.

Or (in context), we would say:

I am going to open this morning.
I am going to close tonight.

But neither open shift nor close shift are used.
