What this job is
A checkout operator scans goods, processes payments, handles cash and card transactions, and assists customers at the point of sale. The work is fast-paced and physically repetitive. Operators are often the last staff member a customer interacts with, so accuracy and a calm manner matter. Some operators also handle returns, price checks, and basic customer queries.
