counter clerk
Behind-the-desk worker
A counter clerk is an employee who serves customers from behind a counter—handling transactions, answering questions, and providing services at places like post offices, banks, rental agencies, or retail stores.
The term emphasizes the physical barrier between worker and customer: The counter clerk processed my package and handed me a receipt.
