Cashier

About this role

Dis-Chem Pharmacies is hiring a cashier for its store at Willowbridge (Tygervalley) in Cape Town. The job is about giving customers a smooth, friendly till experience while keeping every transaction accurate and safe.

What you’ll do

• Record every customer sale on the Dis-Chem system, following company policies and standard procedures. Accuracy matters here, and fraud risk must be kept to zero.
• Take payments of all kinds, including cash, bank cards, vouchers and coupons. Process loyalty cards, including the partner schemes Dis-Chem works with.
• Handle exchanges and returns, but only when you have been authorised to do so. Get your supervisor to approve and sign off any line voids and price changes.
• Look after the cash in your till. Keep it safe, drop it in the safe as the procedures say, and talk about daily takings only with management.
• Keep your login code and password private, safe and changed regularly. Scan and pay for all items leaving the store.
• Pass customer complaints and compliments to your Frontline Supervisor or store management. Answer simple questions about store products and current promotions.

• At least 6 months of cashier or till operations experience.
• Basic computer skills, including MS Office.
• Good numerical skills and a strong command of English, both spoken and written.
• Basic customer service skills.
• Willing and able to work retail hours.
• Reliable transport, or living close to the store.
• South African citizen, with a clear credit record and criminal record.
• Advantageous: a third additional language.

Is this job for you?

Tips before you apply
