Those poor people, losing their jobs that way, through absolutely no fault of their own... and I bet the remaining employees are not happy about having to divide the workload of these three among them. Full time cashiers gone, and two of them? That either means the shop is counting on less customers (therefore having to man less checkout places) or switching to self-checkout.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-63233961777471993072018-02-19T00:29:31.391-05:002018-02-19T00:29:31.391-05:00So happy you found your new job !
