Have you ever handled cash in large monetary transactions?

Think back to your past cashiering roles. What was the estimated average dollar amount of the transactions you handled? How much money was in your drawer at the beginning of your shift? If you were responsible for counting down your drawer at the end of your shift, how much money was usually in it? Simply share these values with the interviewer to provide them with a solid idea of the cash you are used to handling.

If you have no cashiering experience, no problem! Simply tell the interviewer that this will be your first experience as a cashier, and you look forward to learning the process. This candidness will help the interviewer be prepared to provide you with a bit more training when you begin in the role to ensure you are successful as a cashier.
