    It creates jobs.

      You’re not the first one to say so, but a job that exist just to create jobs sounds like a bad excuse. Why would a store just create jobs?

        To create cheap (overworked) labor to make a customer’s shopping experience better, in hopes of them coming back to spend more money.

          Checkout baggers are not overworked…

            As someone who works in a grocery store (but not on the front end), I like how you’re assuming baggers only bag. I guess it depends on the company, but those poor bastards tend to have to bag, clear carts from the lot, sweep the store, clean the restrooms, clean spills around the store, among other tasks. All while receiving the lowest wage in the store.

              I’m not assuming that actually. None of those jobs are particularly hard. Check out baggers are not overworked.

                Neither is your smooth brain, apparently.
