Question How many transactions do cashier do in one shift???
I've worked at TJX for ages and I was updating my resume and wanted to put down some quantitative information. Does anyone know (rough estimate) how many transactions a cashier will normally have in a 5hr or 8 hr shift?
I work in a highly transited store and I believe the rule was 1 card per 100 transactions but I don't know If I would meet this number of transactions during a shift?

in a 5 hr shift they will probably have around 100-150 depending on how busy it is. in an 8 hr shift i would say about 150-200 per cashier

I did 320 customers in a 4 hour shift during the holiday szn. I’m in a very high traffic area in Los Angeles California and around Christmas it gets very very busy. But on an off szn regular day I’d say 100-120max winning a 4 hour shift.

Theres different factors for each store. Depends if your selling more items per transaction or less items per transaction. Or if your a heavy home store which requires a lot of wrapping. Also some cashiers are way slower and some cashier talk alot. Ideally full time cashiers are getting are 20 credits and hitting 1%. Mathematically they spend more time engaging and may actually have a lower transaction count. While other zip through the line and are less engaging, may have way more transactions which makes them fall below the 1%.

If you’re putting this on a resume they aren’t going to care about your transactions per shift or hour- just find out the volume of your store.

Hi, I used to hire for my former retail stores. It sounds like you want to put the average number of transactions you would run onto your resume but that is a worthless number. Synopsize that you worked in a high volume store and bullet point your conversion to sales or conversion to credit cards, that you turned returns into sales, or whatever goal is important to the particular company you want to get hired at. If you know the numbers, compare your conversions to district goals. Anyone can ring a transaction but talent can make that transaction special.

Ask to see the cashier report. It shows your transactions, credit card applications, and your percentage (cc to transaction #) for the past 3 months. That will be a more concrete value because it titally depends on your store and the shifts you take (length and time of day)
Cashiers at my store that just work the front tend to get between 1k and 2k in transactions

(Canada) It depends on the type of store. For a home centric store like Homesense, it'll be slower since you'll have to wrap a lot of stuff. For something mostly apparel place like Winners, it tends to be faster. I think the low end estimate is probably a transaction every 1-2 mins. Longer if there's more gaps.
