Cashier

A cashier works at the front of a shop, right where people pay for the things they picked out. They greet each customer with a smile, then scan every item with a little beeper that reads the stripes on the package. The cash register shows the total, and the cashier takes the money or the card, hands back any change, and gives a receipt. For example, if someone buys apples, bread and milk, the cashier gently puts the bread on top so it doesn't get squished.

The cashier makes shopping feel easy and fair. Because they check each price carefully, everyone pays the right amount, and the change in your hand is just right. They also answer questions, like where to find the eggs, and they help a long line of people move along one by one. Next time you're at a shop, watch how the cashier says hello and wishes everyone a good day.
