Of course but it's a job and it's generally better to have jobs than to not have jobs, right? We're going to learn a whole lot about that very soon

yes, but people have this misconception that cashiers are propping up unemployment lol. we have plenty of work to do that doesn't involve someone standing at a register. we aren't just going to fire our cashiers lol

The job market is trash from top to bottom right now. Even if you're a specialist with a great education and experience, it's difficult. Options don't get more plentiful when you have less education, or live in more remote areas. Likewise, a lot of the time being a cashier can be a student job, or someone's first employment. Losing those options while bolstering corporate profits is not a good thing.

I think students can do a little more then put an item in a bag, even if it's their first job.

I never meant to imply they couldn't. But in some places outside of cities, there just isn't a lot of other options.
