    • Head Cashier/Cashier
      • Aug 2007 - Oct 2008

      As a head cashier, I was responsible for monitoring the cashiers, assisting with customers and working with floor set-up/tear down as well as returns and exchanges. Additionally, I had to set the registers for morning shifts and count cash drawers for closing shifts. The hours for the job (30/week on top of my already full-time work schedule at NDSU) became more than I could handle so I transitioned to a regular cashier position for the remainder of my time with the company.
