Cashiers must be able to handle high volumes of cash, checks and credit cards, ring up customer purchases and assist customers on the sales floor. Other duties include keeping the register areas clean, straightening the sales floor, and assisting in other areas of the store when needed.

Receiving Clerks

The Bookstore hires students to work as receiving clerks. These employees receive incoming merchandise and verify order accuracy and condition, identifying discrepancies and taking corrective action when necessary. When receiving shipments, all documents need to be processed and all information needs to be accurately entered into the store's inventory control system.
