"Handling sales transactions was a large part of my last role in a fashion retail store. Every day included cash transactions and settling the till at the end of the shift to make sure all purchases were accounted for. Many times, my manager relied on me to transfer the funds to the bank or pick up deposit slips for the store."

Try exuding more confidence in your response. Chances are, you have used point of sale machines as a customer, already giving you an idea how that technology works. Also, you have handled cash in your personal life, making purchases, etc. You know more than you think!
"I am comfortable handling cash and making change for customers. I am familiar with the idea of point of sale machines as well. I am confident that, with a bit of training, I will learn your internal systems quickly."
