Cashier

Cashiers are the brand ambassadors who interact directly with your customers. They handle cash transactions, scan goods, collect payments, issue receipts, refunds, change or tickets and redeem stamps and coupons. Use these sample interview questions to find the best person for the job.

Your zero-regret new hire is a personable and service-oriented, ideally with some kind of customer-facing and/or cash-handling experience. They’re a self-motivated, organized and reliable quick-thinker who isn’t afraid to ask for help, and loves working in a team environment.

Top tip: Hire candidates you can grow with by making sure their personal career goals align with your company's mission.
