What can cashiers switch to? AI or robots touch about 3h 47m of a typical 8-hour shift for cashiers, nearly all of it on tasks AI or robots have done on their own somewhere. The jobs below use many of the same skills, and less of their day is touched today. The closest fit is gambling dealers: 1h 31m touched, with median pay 4% higher.

Matches come from O*NET's ratings of the skills, knowledge and work activities each job uses. "To build up" lists the skills each option rates as clearly more important than cashiers do today. "Touched" is time on tasks with documented AI use or robots working in real workplaces. Treat these as starting points: pay, openings and requirements differ by state.
