Clerks

/klɜːrks/ noun

People whose job is to handle paperwork, records, or customer service in an office or store.

From Old French 'clerc' and Latin 'clericus,' originally meaning 'clergy member' because literacy was once exclusive to the church. Over time it shifted to mean any educated person doing clerical work.
