how was it being a cashier 100 years ago?

so I I'm working on a paper for my university degree. and I have come about a theory that being a cashier (or any of the bottom of the barrel jobs we see today) was... maybe not better.. but seen as a higher status and needed a "higher standard" to be.

You may want to go back farther than 100 years ago since cash registers aren’t exactly a new invention. It would likely be good to look at the cash registers history and work from there. Also, it is true that a cashier might have more responsibilities than today since it was manual and the higher amount of cash transactions that would have taken place back then too.
