Cashier

Today's Stine began in 1952, as our founder, J. W. Stine, and his partner, J.C. Carlin, established the "Starlin Lumber Company" in Sulphur, Louisiana, to supply their needs as residential building contractors. J.W. and J.C. met when both were bomber pilots in Europe during WWII. Their business partnership began after the war, and the competition was fierce, as many contractors also established "stick yards" to buy their materials.

The cashier interacts with the customer by greeting and assisting them at point of sale and, once transaction is complete, thanking them for their business. Answering the phone and acting as operators to connect parties is sometimes required. This is a highly visible position and it is most important the individual is personable, friendly, and courteous at all times.
