If you are looking to be a cashier and have found a role in which you want to apply for then it is worth remembering that an employer will be looking to see if you have previous experience as a cashier and in what types of roles you have been working in.
You will also need to have good customer service and be able to work in a repetitive manner whilst remaining efficient and friendly in your work. You will need to have a general idea of the products that you sell and despite using a till it would be a good idea to know rough prices or locations of products.
