Synonyms & antonyms
  • Synonym店員てんいんNeutral店員 is the neutral, everyday word for a shop employee or clerk; it emphasizes working at a store rather than the act of selling, so it fits contexts like asking a 店員 for help.

Use 売り子 for a person who sells goods, often at a stall or shop, and 店員 for a shop employee; the glosses 'hawker' and 'peddler' suggest 売り子 can also cover street selling.
