Be open and honest with the interviewer about your cash handling experience. It will help the interviewer understand how much training you should receive when you begin in the role. Are you well-versed with cash handling? If so, that's great! Share where you worked, how long you were employed there, and how much cash you were typically handling during a shift. Have no cash handling experience? Not a problem! Share that you have not worked in a role with cash handling before, and you look forward to learning cash handling best practices.
