cajero

Cajero is a Spanish word that translates to "cashier" or "teller" in English. It commonly refers to an individual who handles financial transactions in a retail or banking setting. In a store, a cajero is responsible for scanning items, accepting payments, and providing change to customers. In a bank, a cajero, also known as a bank teller, assists customers with deposits, withdrawals, cashing checks, and other basic banking services.

The role of a cajero requires accuracy, efficiency, and good customer service skills. They must be able to operate point-of-sale systems or banking software, manage cash drawers, and maintain a professional demeanor. In some contexts, cajero might also refer to an automated teller machine (ATM), particularly in Latin America, where the term is frequently used interchangeably with "cajero automático." ATMs allow customers to perform a variety of banking transactions without direct interaction with a human teller. The evolution of technology has expanded the responsibilities and the very definition of a cajero, encompassing both human and automated service points.
