How do you work at a cash register?
I know how to count money and press buttons, but I never worked at a register. How do I know what to press when someone says they want a number 3 off of a menu or something. How do I know the prices to put in the register when people say they want something?

TheLaura's right.
I've been a cashier on and off and worked at jobs where I needed to know how to be a cashier for years. Every single company's computer system works differently.
They train you. They have to, otherwise no one would know how to work their registers. It's pretty much just like learning to use windows or what have you again. Not all that difficult.

Hey, don't sweat it.
Every company is different.
I've worked in 2 retail stores and they both did it in 2 completely different ways - of course the objective is to take the customers money but the computer systems were both different.
If you go for a job which includes serving, you will be trained and you'll get the hang of it soon enough. They're easy once you've been shown a few times. :)

Every store has their own way of processing transactions on their computerized software system connected to a basic cash register. This is why a person usually does a week or more of training on a cash register before they are allowed to work alone on the system. Accidents always happen, and with training, you become comfortable with a system.
I would be shocked to hear of an employer not allowing new hires train on a register system before making them work on it all alone. Some fast food places do encourage self-training after they let you assess the manual and watch other employees work the register, but there is always someone willing to help provide answers if you get stuck.
There is definitely no way we can tell you how to process a transaction unless you gave us a specific store and we had experience at that location. Sometimes even places like McDonald's have different ways of doing different transactions even though they are all over the world.
Most fast food locations will have a button for a menu item. You will look up the name, abbreviation, or picture and simply select it. Some other places, like stores, have special code numbers to type into the register system.
Relax, take a deep breath, open your eyes, and listen when you are in your training mode. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
