I work as a cashier in North Jersey. The demographic of the Spanish speaking community here is mostly Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Ecuadorians, Colombians and Central Americans.

I have a list of phrases that I want to express in Spanish but Google Translate doesn’t seem all that reliable. I want to be helpful but also respectful. May someone with retail experience help a cashier out?

• please enter your number into the keypad

• try inserting your card instead. The system is a little weird like that.

• let’s try that again.

• you have ____ dollars on your account. Would you like to use them on this transaction?

• without saying the year, when is your birthday?

• are you returning an item?

• and you’re buying those?

• we can use the money from the return toward your purchase.

• the money has been returned to your card

• do you want a larger bag?

• without the receipt, you’ll get store credit or a gift card.

• is this a gift? Do you want a gift receipt?

• is anyone else authorized to pick this item up?

• did you place this order? Or are you an authorized person?

• did you still want to get this?

• (after releasing a security tag) oh finally, thank god
