I was a cashier once. I caught a lot of scams that I feel like my coworkers would not have. I was second in the nation one month in this chain at upselling at the register. My cash drawer was balanced within a few cents each shift. I checked out more customers per shift than my coworkers. I worked there for about 8 months until I got a job that I was much more qualified for. I lasted longer than others, but not longer than my team leads.
Maybe people with higher levels of intelligence don't last as long until they get a better job, but I think they're pretty valuable for the time they are there. I think that most entry-level stores are shortsighted for ignoring those applicants.
