OMG. Try being a grocery checker in the '70s. On the day before Thanksgiving. Back then, you had to lift ALL the groceries out of the cart. You also had to know all the sale prices AND know what all the produce items were.
What a WIMP!
Wow. What a throwback. I was a bag boy at Albertson's in the 60s. Very time intense. You had to have a good instinct for how to load a bag. Fortunately, the customers were generally nice. Had a supervisor who was a drill sergeant wannabee. Very unpleasant.
Yup, my grocery store job I was a cashier. No scanner at the register, had to input it all manually, then bag the groceries. We only had "bag boys" when the place was packed. On weekends I usually picked up a baby sitting job or two.
Remember when the 5 pound bags of sugar or flour went on sale? My left hand hurt by the end of those days. In those days, we knew how to load a bag properly, too. I made $1.36 per hour, even though min. wage was 1.60. Some loophole related to hiring college students. And NO TIPS. We were forbidden to accept tips. Us girls were issued uniforms, which were dresses. I don't think the guys had uniforms... Most customers were nice. Except for one or two who had "shopped here for years" and felt they shouldn't have to show the ID for their check. (Two ways to pay: cash or check.) Worse was the manager who would explain to them that the checker was new, even the checker who had been with him for 2 years. Those were the days.
The good side? Stores closed at 9PM and were closed on Sundays!
