There’s sometimes one cashier, but apparently it is only self-checkout past 6 or 7pm. And often then, they’ll just have self-checkout only at random times.

I’ve seen them only down to 2 cashiers at absolute peak busyness. No more than that. It’s madness.

Speaking as someone with a physical handicap, self-checkout can be very difficult… especially with a larger amount of items or heavy things

Even opening finicky bags causes me a lot of frustration, because my dexterity is bad some days. Continuously bending down to lift, bag, & load stuff into the cart? Very very bad.

Local grocery stores in my area have been cutting back on cashiers, and it is really causing me issues.

I’ve seen old ladies struggling a lot, too! They probably have it much worse than I do! It’s probably a thing they so they don’t have to pay more workers, but those workers are sorely needed!

I feel this.

My immune system is shitty and terrible (suspected condition, but docs have no clue), so getting sick will cause a slew of awful things to happen to me. Last tiny sick bout I had a few months ago caused a chain reaction that landed me in the hospital. I was literally shitting blood due to a tiny infection! The specialist half-jokingly told me “Well, next time, just don’t get sick!” Ha. Ha ha. Ha.

I’ve only had a single person comment on me wearing a mask in 3 years, thank god. My response was “How about you mind your own fucking business?” Don’t wear a mask. Whatever. I won’t comment on it. But leave me the fuck alone if I choose the wear one. I’m not about to explain my medical history to some snide asshole. Fuck off. I like not suffering.
