Furthermore, the Checkout Clerk may be assigned to manage self-checkout stations, providing assistance to customers, and mitigating any transactional errors or theft risks. Beyond transactional duties, the role emphasizes a high level of situational awareness and customer engagement at self-checkout points, actively monitoring multiple transactions simultaneously and prioritizing safety for both customers and coworkers.
