How difficult is working as a cashier?

Category: Other

GodaimeGodaime


I'm 15 and I'm thinking of applying for a job as a cashier at Publix or Walmart over the summer but I have little to no experience with handling money or cash registers. I'm sure there will be some sort of training session they'll put me through, but how difficult can the actual process of working a cash register and memorizing where everything is be? Any helpful tips from veteran cashiers? Any experiences with certain customers, co-workers, or your boss that you'd like to share?

Thanks in advance.

It's not difficult, but it is stressful dealing with rude customers and narciccistic managers. For me, I didn't really have a "training session." It was moreso just one of the supervisors saying "here, I'm gonna teach you how to do register," and then she showed me the basics. From there I just got by from asking other cashiers until I picked it all up. I don't recommend this job, because you'll learn how b***hy some people can be, but it's good for a first job or a student who needs a flexible schedule.

When I first worked with cash, I had no training what

so ever. The company didn't train me, I had to pick it

up by myself from other employees. It's not hard as

long as you always take your time, the thing that is

a pain is the end of the day. You will do cash count,

and if any money is short, they will get suspicious.

There has been a few times when I've rushed and that

resulted in the till being short money, so make sure

you take your time! Goodl uck!

** The company won't expect you to know everything

off by heart, that is why they'll have a booklet there in

case you forget a certain code. You just have to look

for it. **
