## 🛒 R8.5k + Benefits: Dis-Chem is Hiring Cashiers at Blue Route Mall!



Attention Cape Town job seekers! 📢 If you’ve got a **Matric and 6 months of till experience**, this is your chance to secure a permanent role at one of SA’s biggest retailers.

**Dis-Chem Blue Route (Tokai)** is looking for sharp, honest, and fast-paced cashiers to join their frontline team. If you’re tired of short-term contracts and want a job with **Medical Aid and a Provident Fund**, keep reading!

### 📍 The Quick Facts:

 * **Role:** Retail Cashier

 * **Location:** Blue Route Mall, Tokai, Cape Town

 * **Salary:** R7k – R8.5k Basic + Medical Aid + Provident Fund + Staff Discounts

 * **Closing Date:** 12 May 2026 (**14 Days Left!**)

 * **Type:** Permanent

### 🛠️ What the Job *Actually* Is

You are the face of Dis-Chem Blue Route. It’s a busy mall, so you’ll need to be fast and accurate.

 * **Transaction Pro:** Handling cash, cards, and medical aid points (Discovery, eBucks, etc.).

 * **Zero Tolerance:** You are responsible for your float. Inaccuracies or shortages are taken very seriously.

 * **Customer Service:** Dealing with everyone from happy shoppers to impatient customers needing their scripts.

 * **Security Conscious:** Being the first line of defense against fraud and suspicious behavior.

### 🚩 The "Jobbing101" Red Flags

 * **Mandatory Experience:** "6 months experience" is a hard rule. Formal retail experience (Shoprite, PnP, Clicks, etc.) is required—informal help won't pass the screening.

 * **Strict Vetting:** You will undergo an **MIE credit and criminal check**. If you are blacklisted or have a record, you will be automatically rejected.

 * **Retail Hours:** This isn't a 9-to-5. You *will* work weekends, public holidays, and late shifts. Ensure your transport is sorted!

 * **Location Matters:** If you live far from Tokai (e.g., Mitchells Plain or Khayelitsha), consider the transport costs. This role is best for those living in or near **Tokai, Retreat, or Steenberg**.

### ✅ Who Should Apply?

 * **Education:** Grade 12 / Matric is essential.

 * **Experience:** At least 6 months operating a retail till.

 * **Skills:** Strong numerical skills (no "finger errors") and clear English communication.

 * **Ideal Candidate:** Someone currently working retail on a "temp" basis who wants a permanent position with corporate benefits.

### ❌ Who Should SKIP This?

 * No previous formal cashier experience.

 * No Matric certificate.

 * Bad credit history or a criminal record.

 * Unable to work rotating shifts including Sundays and Public Holidays.

### 🔗 How to Apply

**Pro-Tip:** Make sure your CV clearly lists where you gained your 6 months of till experience—don't make them hunt for it!
