One of the most important skills a cashier must possess is the ability to handle customers who do not have a credit card. This is because, many times, these customers can feel embarrassed or even frustrated for not having the option to pay with this payment method.

To deal with this situation, it is important for the cashier to have empathy and understanding. He must understand that not all customers have access to credit cards and that this should not be a reason for embarrassment or judgment.

In addition, the cashier must be prepared to offer other payment options, such as debit cards, cash or even credit card installments. It is important that he is well aware of the payment policies of the company he works for and knows how to guide the client in the best possible way.

Another important skill is clear and objective communication. The cashier must explain the available payment options clearly and without pressuring the customer to choose a specific option. He must be open to answering all questions and queries from the client in a polite and respectful manner.

Finally, the cashier must be prepared to deal with possible conflict situations. Some customers may become irritable or impatient not being given the option to pay by credit card, and it is important for the cashier to know how to handle these situations professionally and calmly.
