Dis-Chem Pharmacies is accepting applications for casual cashier opportunities at its Cresta and Irene Village stores in Gauteng.

Both opportunities require Grade 12 and at least six months of cashier or till-operating experience. Applicants must be comfortable processing payments, assisting customers and working retail hours.
