Everybody shares the same general responsibilities for the Bookseller position. Everyone works the cash register, everyone gets trained on the buy counter (though usually not until you've been with the company for a month or so - they don't want to completely overwhelm you), everyone has sections they are in charge of maintaining, everyone has a phone shift, everyone takes out their trash and empties the recycle bins, and everyone is rotated through the break room cleaning schedule.
