A tip: Always smile, even when you don't feel like it. Customers will almost always treat you better, and then you really will feel like smiling.

Best of Luck on the new job. I know you will do fine!
Ditto.

I worked as a cashier for about 5 years in a small town. Always smile, be polite even if you have the worst customer ever. Don't take any frustrations out on the customer. I would always laugh at myself (especially if I did do something silly) the time, appologize to the customer, and just rant once I was home.

Stick to your guns and don't let people take advantage of you.... that whole "I gave you a $20 scam". I would always call the manager right away and offer to have my till counted. I would never argue with the customer.

I was very nervous too but it helped to have great trainers. The cashiers that trained me were super sweet.

Good luck!
