>>In all likelihood the first way is what you want. As Naomi says, it depends on whether it's one cashier or more than one. Singular = Cashier's. Plural = Cashiers'. (Note that the second choice you state is definitely incorrect. The apostrophe needs to be there somewhere, since it is a possessive).

Yes, and referring to more than one cashier. Cashier's is not an abbreviation. It is a singular possissive, i.e. "The cashier's purse was stolen by a customer."
Not being pedantic, that's just the way it works. Trust me <g>.
