That sounds a little like 'Hey! Why not look up a job in retail right here!'
How about slightly amending what Broelan said to:
'Check-Out: A Job in the Retail World'
as I love the 'double-entendre! 
Working in that sector myself I'd suggest:
'Check-Outs and the Art of Cashiering.'
The Art of Manning a Till Point' (which is what they are usually called where I work)
or to use the parlance that our 'Business Protection Operatives' (Finance Clerks! 
) prefer:
'Check-Outs and their POS Operatives' POS being Point Of Sale!
Apropos of nothing, but on the point of barcodes, I have seen three different barcodes on Electronic equipment, being US, Asia and Europe... and here is some more info for no reason whatsoever!

Good entry and should be read by all Supermarket POS Operatives before they get anywhere near the till!

>>"Business Protection Operatives" 
For a couple of years I was a "Gift Consultant". I worked in various aspects of retail for fifteen years, mostly as a cashier or in customer service, but that was probably the fanciest title I had.
>>'Check-Out: A Job in the Retail World'
as I love the 'double-entendre!
This was more or less what I was going for.

Very good
I can't think of a thing this needs
btw, I once dithered a little too long at the checkout - way too long, actually, on account of being under the influence of something or another - and the clerk kindly reminded me that it was a new day and I was going to miss it.
