The Glory of being a Cashier
The Glory of being a Cashier
I. Nature of the work:
Basically any place that sells things needs someone to make the exchange of goods or services for cash. A cashier is this person. It is the cashier’s job to make sure the consumer gets the product or service they wish to purchase. It is also the cashier’s job to ensure that the correct amount of tender is supplied and stored safely in a cash register. The cash register is a tool used by most cashiers to help them keep the incoming cash organized. Most larger operations now use scanners, which allow merchandise to be rung up by a cashier much quicker than other manual methods. Many work sites use one or more cashiers. Some examples of places where a cashier might be found are; fast food restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, department stores, and many other locations you visit regularly. The basic exchange between consumer and cashier usually follows the subsequent format;
v All items, which the customer wishes to purchase, are presented to the cashier.
v The customer and cashier then exchange pleasantries as the cashier proceeds to, either scan or manually enter identification into the cash register.
v Next if necessary a bagger or the cashier themselves bags the customers merchandise in either paper or plastic.
v The cashier to the customer then relates the total due for the goods.
v Hopefully, the customer then renders the cash due, either by credit card, cheque, or good old dollars.
v The cashier then returns to the customer any change due.
v The cashier is usually also responsible for supplying the customer a record of the sale, called a receipt.
v Finally in parting the cashier and customer say the “Have a nice day’s.”
As it can plainly be seen cashiers are a vital link in America’s capitalistic economy.
