Cashier

n. person who handles purchases in a store; bank employee who handles monetary transactions

v. discharge, fire, dismiss (from military service); reject

A cashier is a person responsible for totaling the amount due for a purchase,,, charging the consumer for that amount, and then collecting payment for the goods or services exchanged. In one form or another, cashiers have been around for thousands of years. In many businesses, such as grocery stores, the cashier is a "stepping stone" position. Many employers require employees to be cashiers in order to move up to customer service or other positions such as produce.
