Boilerplate resume items for otherwise uninspiring jobs

[Rob Hudson <caveatrob -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hello Everyone,
 
I'm both teaching resumes and writing them for some folks I know who are 
having some difficult economic times. My biggest problem is that their 
experience is generally of the minimum wage retail variety. So, I'm 
looking for some key phrases and general descriptions that I can apply 
as bullets for their work experience.
 
Of course, I intend to tailor these line items with their particular 
experience, but I'm struggling to massage reality without being 
completely unreal.
 
If you operated a cash register, counted, and closed out the drawer at 
the end of the night, what's the best way to express this effectively 
without inflating?
 
I'd like to share some of these effective statements with my students 
and those people whom I'm helping to get -- any job.
 
Rob
