Significado
Asking for the place to pay for things.
Contexto cultural
In many Ukrainian supermarkets, you will be asked 'Пакет потрібен?' (Do you need a bag?). It's good to know this at the 'каса'. Small change (coins) used to be a big deal at Ukrainian checkouts. Now, card payments are preferred almost everywhere. The 'каса' in a theater is often a separate small building or a window on the outside of the main building. During the holidays, 'каси' can get very busy. It's common to see 'Каса для вагітних та з дітьми' (Checkout for pregnant women and those with children).
Politeness Hack
Always start with 'Вибачте' (Excuse me) to get the best service.
Pronunciation
Make sure the 's' in 'kasa' is sharp. If it sounds like 'sh', people will think you are looking for breakfast porridge!
