One of the fundamental skills for a cashier is reading bar codes. These codes are used on virtually every product on the market today, from food to electronics.

To correctly read the barcodes, the operator needs to know the different types of existing codes, such as the EAN-13, used in most products sold in supermarkets, and the QR Code, used in some electronic products.

In addition, it is necessary to know how to use the barcode reader correctly, positioning it properly so that the reading is done accurately. The operator also needs to be aware of possible reading problems, such as damaged or dirty codes, and know how to work around these situations.

Another important aspect is the use of the sales management system, which is usually integrated with the barcode reader. The operator needs to know how to use this system efficiently, registering the products correctly and quickly.

In summary, knowledge of barcode reading is essential for a cashier, as it allows for a faster and more efficient operation, avoiding errors and ensuring customer satisfaction.
