Description

Cashiers in retail are responsible for processing payment transactions at the checkout. They usually work with modern checkout systems and record customers’ purchases electronically using a product scanner. In some supermarkets, they also weigh vegetables and fruit at the checkout. When paying for goods, cashiers check the authenticity of the banknotes and make sure they give the right change. They often also process payments without cash. When there are no customers at the checkout, they support their colleagues in the warehouse and in goods receiving and, for example, restock shelves. They also process complaints and exchange goods. If necessary, they also help customers pack the goods they have purchased. At the end of their working day, they prepare the accounts, if necessary, by offsetting the cash on hand against the receipts.
