I Want to Be a Cashier

Being a cashier is one of the most common jobs in retail. Greeting shoppers, helping them find items a store sells, and completing customer’s purchases top the list of tasks cashiers perform every day. Some cashiers get promoted to jobs with more responsibility in retail. Other cashiers use the skills they learn from cashiering in jobs outside retail. Part of the You’re Hired! series, I Want to Be a Cashier explores what it takes to be a good cashier, as well as the best ways to get started in this popular part-time job.
