A great, genuine smile is a start and gets you a long way. I've worked retail for 4 years now and a smile really is key. Your smile attracts more people to you.

As a cashier, I try to ask most people how their day is going or if they're having a good day. I can't tell you how many conversations I've started with customers over that question alone. A lot of people love to talk about their day and sometimes it makes them genuinely happy to have a stranger care enough to ask them about how it's progressing. I've seen people walk in with scowls on their faces turn to smiles, merely because I showed investment in them. As long as it's nothing crude or inappropriate, feel free to throw a joke into the conversation.

I started retail in 2015 as an extremely introverted guy. Now, I feel like I'm 50/50 introvert-extrovert. There are days I'll be at work and have recurring customers/regulars busting out laughing at my silliness. I've talked with a lot of women there as well, just being friendly or having a quick chat and they enjoyed it.

Upping your game all stems from self-confidence and investment. The more you force yourself to talk, the better you become at it. It sounds cliché, but it's true. Believe in your abilities. And then again, investment. Look at customers as more than a dollar sign. Talk to them as if they were a friend of yours. Ask them about their day, if they have any plans for the weekend, if anything exciting has happened in their week, etc. It works!

Here’s the thing about social anxiety. Once you get rid of it, it’s gone for good. Don’t even focus on it, just do your job and talk to people. Ask them if they need help or if you can do anything for them. As a cashier, smile at every person in your line and say hello. Ask them how their day has been. Pretty soon you won’t even remember having social anxiety

Dude working as retail helped me get out of my comfort zone ALOT especially when I worked in the cash register. At the time my manager made me greet every single person that walked in the door, so I went from being an extreme introvert to having no problems greeting/starting conversations w/ complete strangers. Start by asking how their day is when you’re ringing them up, and a conversation can start from there. There may be some dick customers who want to completely ignore you but most people appreciate that you asked how their day was going. That being said, I’m still naturally introverted and I don’t think I can ever change that (I like it tbh there are benefits to being introverted) but after working retail for a few years I can be extroverted when needed to, which is something I couldn’t do before

Talk to everyone, and pitch everything they tell you. You gain more when you feel uncomfortable.
