Summary
POS cashiers use POS systems in retail stores and restaurants to handle product checkout, money exchange, receipt issuance, and other tasks.
Description
POS cashiers operate POS (Point of Sale) terminals in stores to perform tasks such as barcode scanning, price calculation, money handling, receipt issuance, recording and aggregating sales data, and cash register closing. Payment methods from customers include cash, credit cards, electronic money, and more, requiring accurate and prompt responses. During business hours, they handle customer service and simple inquiries, and at closing time, they verify cash register balances, prepare sales reports, and collaborate with teams and other departments to support store operations.

Due to ongoing labor shortages influenced by declining birthrates and aging population, job openings remain stable. With the advancement of self-checkout registers and cashless payments, interpersonal skills and system operation abilities are increasingly emphasized.
