A barrister is a particular type of lawyer (a word also used in
Britain), who specialises in arguing cases in court. I think Americans
would refer to this person as an attorney. Another type of lawyer in
England, Wales and Ireland (the terminology is different in Scotland) is
a solicitor - you'd go to him for legal advice or write a will.

In a supermarket I think you call the person collecting the money at the
till a "check-out clerk". In Britain you could call this person a cashier.
> CHEMIST'S SHOP ---------DRUG STORE
The part of the drugstore (wrtiien as one word) where you geet your
prescription drugs is called the pharmacy.

Bag and sack are both used in the U.S. There are regional variations.
Likewise, "cashier" is not at all uncommon in U.S. English.
