...cobrando a metade das contas dos clientes regulares



...e nunca fazendo o registro na máquina registradora.

...pagando metade da conta de seus clientes regulares...

In slang, 'to comp' is short for 'to compensate'. That is to pay someone's tab, or to give them something for free.

In Las Vegas, it is common for hotels and casinos to 'comp their clients a free room', or meals, or something else as an incentive for the client to stay on...
