Morning Guardians, thought I might as well join in
I’m surprised those are still allowed over there, Jack.
I don't like seeing the old gals, who used to work on the checkout, having to stand up for hours at a time, encouraging shoppers to use the robots, which will eventually see them turfed out of a job
I thought it was interesting, when we first visited England, that the employees working the grocery store checkouts were sitting down. Most of ours here have to stand.
We have one grocery store chain that pretty much dominates the market. They've always had a great reputation for quality, good prices, and treating their employees well. Unfortunately, they are pushing pretty hard on the self check, I often see only two or three of the twenty lanes actually open. On the other hand, they are also pushing some sort of we-shop-for-you app, that one can order food online to be picked up or delivered. So the store is full of "professional shoppers"
For anyone who thinks their ebony isn't dark enough, just add a little brisket and sausage grease. The pickles and onions are good for patina, too.
I’m pretty sure I know the chain you’re talking about,

. (It’s HEB, right?) My uncle, who lives outside College Station, manages the beer and wine department at one of their stores, and has always talked about how well they treat employees.
