  Sam's Club

  Cashier

  Serviced customers by operating the POS system for the front lanes checkout. This position also required keeping track of an accurate count for products purchased by the customer and correctly calculating the final total of all those products in the basket. Utilized tools such as promotions and credit applications to gain more customer interest and/or loyalty to the Sam's Club brand as required. On many occasions, I was asked to help promote sweepstakes or mobile applications for the Holland Store.
