What ビデオレンタル店店員 do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

ビデオレンタル店で、映画やドラマなどのビデオ(DVD、ブルーレイ)、音楽CDなどの貸出と返却の受付を行うほか、商品管理や顧客情報の管理などを行う。
 ほとんどの店舗が会員制を採用しており、初めて利用するお客には入会手続をしてもらう。免許証などで本人確認をして会員証を発行し、利用方法を案内する。
 貸出の際には、お客がカウンターにビデオやCDを持ってくると、まず会員証を提示してもらい、会員番号と商品バーコードをバーコードリーダーで読み取る。代金を受取、返却期限を確認して、商品を貸し出す。返却の際には、再び商品データを読み取り、期限内に返却されているか確認する。ただし、近年ではお客が自分で貸出・返却処理を行うセルフサービスの店舗も増えてきている。
 返却されたビデオやCDに傷などの異常がないかチェックし、店内の棚に戻す。また、会員からの問い合わせに対応するほか、返却予定日を過ぎても商品が返却されない場合には、電話による督促なども行う。
 このほかに商品仕入れの仕事がある。最新作品や、入会時に登録された会員のニーズにあわせて商品を揃え、店内に陳列する。毎月数多くの新作ビデオやCDが発売される中から、会員のニーズにあった商品を仕入れる必要があるため、日頃から情報誌やメディアをチェックするなどして、幅広い商品知識を持つことが必要となる。
 また、店舗独自のコーナーを企画し、音楽や映画などの最新情報を会員にダイレクトメールで案内するなどの販売促進を行うこともある。
