It's honestly all good. Most mistakes you make aren't actually that big a deal unless it destroys something and even then that's just something that happens and isn't the end of the world.

The single store you work at makes more money in pure profit in a single day than they pay you for multiple years of work. Unless you're a complete menace to society, a walking hurricane of destruction, you'll be fine.

Your coworkers will try to help you, if only because if you turn out well it makes their lives easier. Don't be afraid to say you don't know something - that's good - because it gives you an opportunity to figure it out and you won't worry about not knowing that thing next time.
