Answer 2

Generally, a store clerk at the grocery store is responsible for serving as a cashier at the checkout counter. The store clerk greets customers, scans and rings up purchases and collects monies.

Often, the store clerk may be called up to bag up customerrs' purchased items as well.

Store clerks may also be responsible for maintaining certain areas of the store, depending on the size of the establishment. For example, a store clerk may be assigned an aisle or department for shelf-stocking and cleanups. However, larger stores often have separate stock clerks to handle these tasks.

Returning shopping carts to the appropriate receptacles may be an additional responsibility for store clerks, too.
