checkout clerk

Scans your groceries

A checkout clerk is the person at a store who scans items, takes payment, and bags purchases.

The term is slightly more formal than cashier and emphasizes the location—the checkout counter or lane—rather than the cash-handling function.

The checkout clerk asked if I wanted paper or plastic.
