Answer 2

Congratulations on your new job! Remember that people appreciate good service and a smile. You'll make mistakes -- we all do, so be ready to accept responsibility for your actions and if you know you're right but the customer argues, a few words of patronage go a long way...

Okay, cashiering is not difficult, but it's pretty important and as a customer, there are two things that REALLY aggravate me:

a) when you're counting how much change to give me, please don't stand there and have a conversation with a friend or co-worker. You are working with MY MONEY - I want your full attention.

b) be able to count back change. If the bill is $18.57 and I give you $20.07 to simplify the change, do you know how to count back what to give me? I am continually amazed at how many people can't do this without having the register tell them how much money to give.

Here's how: First: Do not put my money into the drawer until you've counted out the change. This will eliminate arguments with people who say they gave you a $20 when you believe they gave you a $10. If you leave the bills outside the drawer, you'll be able to look at what they gave you.

Now, start with the figures to the right of the decimal. I've given you $.07 in change, so you can now take that out of the equation because as far as the 7 cents is concerned, I've just paid it.

Now take what's left of the amount due ($18.57 - $.07 = $18.50) and then pull enough change to reach the $20.00 amount that I gave you...

$18.50 plus
$00.50 = 19.00, plus
$01.00 = 20.00

So you give me $1.50 in change.

Just remember to start with the total due, and then count upwards until you reach the amount of money they gave you.

I'm happy for you... take pride in your work, and you'll catch the attention of the people who will be giving you your performance evaluations. Just remember that everyone experiences a first job, and if a customer knows that you're training, they are usually more patient with you.

Good luck!!

You know what? I enjoyed being a cashier because I love talking to people and time went by faster that way. Remember to stay focus when recieving money or giving back change, because people will try to cheat you. Don't put the money that the customer give you directly in the tilt. That way the customer can't lie about the amount that was given. Keep your area neat and the code sheet close. Take the code sheet home to learn if you are in a grosery store. May God Bless you Jessie

Congrats on the new job! Don't let anybody scare you and make you think it's a hard job. Cash registers nowadays do everything for you, so you don't have to worry about figuring out change etc because it does it for you. So as long as you can count, you should be fine. I wouldn't worry about having to remember specific item codes, because most stores will have a "cheat sheet" for you with those codes on them, so that you don't have to remember them. Also if ever you are in doubt that you've miscounted something, close your cash drawer immediately, call your manager, and they can re count your drawer and figure out if there was a mistake and correct it. They would rather you do that than risk giving a customer the wrong amount of change. Good luck!

Answer 5

Congrats on your new job. Just be watchful because people know when you're new and someone may try to pull a fast one on you. One rule of thumb that will help: don't talk while counting your money. Make sure you're paying close attention to what you're doing with your cash drawer. The holidays are coming up and things will be busy. Of course be courteous to people but keep your eyes moving and pay attention to all of the details. Once you get that part under control, you'll do great.

Answer 6

depending on where you are working it can be hard expecially if you need to remember alot of item codes. i.e. wal mart, or any other food saleing company. while working in a department store once you learn the basics it really easy, just scan the bar code and press total..there is more to it then that but over all it pretty easy...become a cashie in a bank then your called a teller i think that would be fun plus you get to play with someone elses money all day.

Answer 7

NO, IT'S NOT HARD. TRY NOT TO BE NERVOUS, YOU WILL GET THE HANG OF IT AFTER A FEW TIMES. I ONCE WORKED AT SONIC, AND ON MY FIRST DAY I WAS TAKING FOOD OUTSIDE TO A CUSTOMER AND I DROPPED THE TRAY, AND THE FOOD WENT ALL OVER THE GROUND. I JUST LOOKED UP AT THE PERSON AND EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS MY FIRST DAY AND WE BOTH LAUGHED ABOUT IT, THEN I WENT IN AND GOT HIM SOME MORE FOOD. I THINK THE GUY FELT SORRY FOR ME B/C HE LEFT ME A $5.00 TIP. SO DON'T WORRY MISTAKES ALWAYS HAPPEN IT'S HUMAN. YOU WILL DO GREAT. GOOD LUCK.
