A cashier is someone who is in charge of managing a cash register.
Cashier is a term that comes from the Latin word capsarius and is used to name the person who, in a commercial establishment, is in charge of managing a cash register (the machine or the place where the money is kept).
In banks , tellers are responsible for collecting bills, taking deposits, and delivering money. If a person wants to deposit a check into their account or want to withdraw the money they have saved, they must go to an ATM.
For example: "I want to make a withdrawal from my savings account: could you tell the teller to come?" , "The robbers beat the store cashier and took the proceeds" , "This supermarket should have more cashiers so that customers can pay and leave in less time" .
Cashier role
In markets and supermarkets , cashiers are the employees who pass the products through the barcode reader to record the price and prepare the bill to pay. Sometimes they are also in charge of placing the products in bags or boxes.
Once the prices of all the items have been added up, the cashier requests the money from the buyer, who must give the payment before taking the products. Another option is for the buyer to make payment with a debit card or credit card . In this case, you will generally have to sign proof of the operation.
The ATM is a device that allows you to withdraw money from a bank account and pay for services, among other benefits.
The self-service
It must be taken into account that, in recent years, other types of ATMs have become fashionable in supermarkets and large stores. These are devices that perform their function and are called self-service . They have barcode readers through which the customer passes the products they have purchased.
Then, once you have passed all the items through these devices, select the type of payment you are going to make on the screen. That is, it establishes whether you are going to pay in cash or if you will do so by card. This will make the purchase payment and to finish you will obtain your corresponding ticket.
These self-service ATMs have been seen by many customers as a great advantage, especially when they are in a hurry and do not want to wait in a long line at the checkout. However, there are those who consider that what these devices are doing is taking away jobs.
ATM
Finally, a machine that performs functions similar to those of a human teller is called an ATM or ATM (for the English expression Automated Teller Machine ). These devices, which work with debit or credit cards and security keys, deliver and receive money and charge for services , among other tasks.
Updating the savings book, buying and collecting tickets, recharging the wallet card you have or the balance on your mobile phone and even sending money abroad are other operations that can be carried out from the ATM. However, you must be very careful when doing any of these actions since there are many thieves who take advantage of this circumstance to appropriate money. Not to mention the criminals who install technologies on devices to steal card data.
