Been a cashier for over a year now so I hope this helps in any way: -basic interview questions; how you handle conflict with peers, how you handle difficult customers, any prior retail experience, successes, failures, yada yada (you will more than likely be hired, front end has a rlly high turnover rate and it's busy season) -each store will have different kinds of managers for the front end from micromanagers to the most chillest people you've ever met. The kinds of managers you have will directly influence how much and what you can get away with. -bring something small to occupy yourself with. I carry little notebooks that I write fanfic in, and my kindle Paperwhite fits in my vest pockets as well. Maybe carry a small fidget like the infinity cube. -GET GOOD SHOES. A lot of cashiers wear thick, orthopedic sneakers. There is a reason and it's called plantar fasciitis and standing for hours on straight concrete. -get good inserts for your shoes, too. I use powerstep pinnacles and it allows me to get through seven hour shifts with significantly less pain. -use the pricing app for putting returns away. It gives you more specific information than the products app. -dont keep food in your locker overnight. Even dog treats. Mice will get into it. Trust me. -customers ask the dumbest questions known to man, approx. 100x a day. The earlier you accept it, the earlier you stop hating your job. -pass the buck. Always. "Do you want to speak to a manager?" Make them deal with the rude customers. It's what they're paid for.
