122 : How be a Cash Register Hero : 6 Essential skills to have in order to set up both the customers and your co-workers in the coffee shop to have a great experience / Changing our mindset toward register work

Working the cash register is not often seen as legit barista work. We'd rather be on the machine because we are closer to the actual product.
