Redner’s Markets in Reading, PA, is an excellent choice for applicants interested in grocery cashier jobs. These positions are common entry points into the world of work and are essential to the retail marketplace.
Responsibilities of a Cashier
The primary responsibility of a cashier is processing customer transactions, and this seemingly simple duty does require quite a few skills. Developing these skills and proving your work ethic will lead to advancement in Redner’s Markets positions.
A cashier must be able to:
- Scan items with barcodes
- Manually enter prices or price codes
- Total purchase costs
- Handle various payment methods (cash, credit/debit cards, and digital wallets)
- Accurately count and return change
- Provide receipts
- Maintain an accurate till drawer.
Each of these duties needs to be done quickly and accurately without failing to provide courteous and helpful service to customers.
In addition to transaction processing, cashiers who want to advance will need to develop other skills. Prioritizing accuracy and attention to detail is key as well as excellent customer service. Basic mental math is essential so that you can spot an obvious error rather than relying on technology which is only as good as the input. If you make an error entering information, the output will be faulty, and you need to be able to spot it. You’ll need to be more than polite; you’ll also need to know the store’s layout, typical merchandise prices, and store policies so you can be helpful as well.
As a cashier, you can expect the work environment to be fast-paced and ever-changing. Stress may be an issue during busy hours, days, and seasons, and your schedule may change frequently, with you being expected to have availability for evening, weekend, and holiday shifts.
The physical demands of the job are primarily being able to stand for long periods of time, and you may also need to lift bags and boxes of merchandise. At Redner’s Markets, we also expect our cashiers to contribute to a clean, positive environment through their personal efforts and attitudes.

Begin as a cashier, but don’t stop advancing. With a great work ethic, attendance record, customer service approach, and proven reliability, you can go far within management ranks. You’ll find that many of our managers began as entry-level employees, and they use the skills they learned in those roles daily. Whether you’re a student or a young parent, start your career in a field and with a company where advancement is widely available.
