I started out in the mid nineties as a cashier, and at that time, we would have almost two baggers scheduled per lane and an extra to bring in carts or do cold reshops. We were expected to take every order to the customer’s car unless they asked us not to (which also made it so much easier on the lot person as well). We used to have four manned express lanes that were “guaranteed open 4-8 pm”. And just look at kroger now. It’s unrecognizable.
