It's funny that I've never looked up お預かりします until just now, even thought I've heard it many thousands of times.

You'd better start practicing this one:
申し訳ございません。

責任を取ります！
Drop the polite speech and it becomes useful in an even wider array of situations…

so, i'm seriously thinking of doing a working holiday in japan. id like to get some casual work while im there other than english teaching. So, id like to up my chances by learning a bunch of commonly used expressions for bar / shop / ski resort work.

I'd think (but not from experience) that working in shops/bars or anything that involves contact with customers (and probably other, more senior staff?) would need 敬語. Though even Japanese people don't always get it right:

Lists mistakes young people make when using keigo at their jobs, but also lists some corrections for what they should properly be as well.

Some more words you shouldn't use.

Also: バカップル. Definitely a word you're going to want to know if you work anywhere people might go on dates.
