Supporting Customers at Checkout
The Front-End Associate helps customers complete their purchases smoothly and efficiently. Associates greet shoppers, process transactions and monitor checkout activity so waiting customers can be acknowledged and directed toward available registers.

Checkout Accuracy and Customer Service
Accuracy is important because the associate handles payments and completes customer transactions. Careful attention to register prompts, prices and payment methods can help prevent errors while keeping checkout lines moving at a steady pace.
Customer service is equally important. Associates are expected to treat shoppers and co-workers respectfully, listen to questions and provide helpful information. A calm and professional approach can be especially useful during busy evening or weekend periods.
