It's my first job, hopefully as a cashier at a CVS. Nothing special. What's the best way to answer this without sounding like I'm only in it because I'll get a paycheck?

If it's a cashier position, and assuming you have aspirations to do other jobs later in your life, I'm sure your prospective boss/manager knows that it'll be a temporary job for you. You just want to put your best foot forward. The boss will be looking for someone that can represent the "face" of the company - you will be "face of the company" the public sees, and if people have a good experience at the "point of sale," they may come back. Certainly, if they have a bad experience at that point, then they will be less likely to come back. Think of what you appreciate in a cashier when you shop - someone who is cordial, efficient, etc. Be the employee you'd like to deal with if you were a shopper.

Maybe another good reason is you want to get experience working with people, so you can build your resume for furhter work.

Usually you would say something about the job and what it requires and that you have an interest in that field
