The Responsibilities
Primarily, a grocery store cashier will complete customer transactions as quickly as possible without making mistakes. From scanning barcodes to weighing produce, handling coupons, entering manual prices, operating the register, counting change, and interacting appropriately with customers, each transaction may present unique challenges.
Cashiers will handle various payment methods and need to be familiar with cash, card, digital payments, and assistance programs.
Customer interactions must be warm and informative, even when the customer proves difficult. Cashiers may also be expected to bag purchases, stock shelves, replenish shelves with candy and other last-minute items, and maintain a clean work area.
Essential Skills
A positive attitude may be the number one attribute of a successful cashier. This one aspect will inspire hard work, focus, friendliness, and a willingness to learn. A cashier must be helpful and friendly since the store’s reputation largely rests on their customer interactions.
Paying attention to details and having basic math skills are also essential. Not only do cashiers need to work fast, but they also need to be accurate and not fall prey to attempts to take advantage of what might be perceived as inexperience.
Managing time and staying calm are also key. Holidays and weekends are busy times for grocery stores, and cashiers can be put in situations that might cause stress. During these times, cashiers need to remain calm while continuing to work at a steady pace, keeping the line moving.
The Benefits
Entering the workforce as a cashier is an excellent choice for many. The schedule flexibility allows students, parents with young children, and even full-time workers in need of a second income to work at their convenience.
The position doesn’t require advanced degrees, either, so students find it accessible and an opportunity to build contacts and gain experience.
At Redner’s Markets, cashiers find room to grow. Many of our supervisors and managers were once cashiers. Moving up in the ranks allows cashiers to prove themselves, learn the business inside and out, and then perform even better in administrative roles.
