Need tips on gaining confidence in my new job as a cashier?
Asked by B
I recently immigrated to the US. I have just started the other day working as a cashier+photo developer+store maintenance guy at an Osco store. I mostly feel intimidated of the cashier job - I mainly fear I would make a money related mistake (until this day I can't tell the differences between all the different US coins) or not give the costumers a good enough service. Any tips you can give me to overcome my cashier fear would be gladly appreciated. Maybe there is any computer software which would help me practice that skill?

Best Answer:
You have already overcome your biggest fear. You moved to a new country. How cool is that? Of the six denominations of coins, you will see the two largest sparingly. The half dollar is too large for the pocket and the dollar is too small. While the tendency to redesign has produced many obverse varieties, the faces remain the same. Try to make an association with each president and rely on the face for identification, such as: One cent - The penny is actually English and our coin was introduced on the centennial of Lincoln's birth. Nickel - Jefferson's presidency is not mentioned on his marker at Monticello. Dime - The obverse is an impression of the seal for the March of Dimes. Quarter - George Washington, the subject of Lincoln's favorite anecdote. The use of credit and debit cards is increasing every year. Checks are passe and cash transactions are being relegated to the uneducated and unskilled. Take your time. Most will understand and the others don't matter. Good Luck.

I'm a cashier and I absolutely love it!! When I first started working it was a little awkward but i got used to it very quickly. My best advice would be to just be as friendly as possible and truly enjoy your job. It becomes natural after a few weeks to talk to people and you will become familiar with your store, and will be able to help people find things.
