You will be asked basic questions such as:
Are you reliable?Are you loyal?Are you trustworthy?You need to think of good answers to these questions in relation to your previous roles eg: the last role I was there for x years as a very loyal employee until I was made redundant etc.
You will definitely be asked if you have handled cash before and on what till system, who for and how you did this process? Did you do it on your own, did you have a supervisor? Talk them through your typical day . The employer will want to know that they can trust you more than most roles as you will be dealing with money and have a very important role.
Depending on the role they will almost definitely ask you questions where you need to use your maths skills, work out discounts if its in a shop and what prices you would charge after applying discounts, or if in a bank they will ask you details on percentages or interest charges, read up on the role in great detail and write down some scenarios you could be asked to practice.
Due to nature of this business you will have numerical questions and tests during your interview and application however you will receive typical interview questions too.

Because of the cash handling side to this job, you will probably find that the employer will want to run a credit check on you to ensure you have no bad debts as that may make them feel you are too high a risk. If you have no bad credit you should be fine
As with any job, the employers will indeed run background checks on potential employees. Apart from the standard checks and proof of qualifications you might need, being a cashier requires that you’re friendly.
Obviously, when you have any interview, you’ll be trying to be friendly in order to win over your interviewer. Being a cashier, you’ll be interacting with the public a lot, so the interviewer really does want to see a friendly face and happy personality for this interview.
Good luck!
Thank you.
