Yuting’s Reviews > Cleanup on Aisle Five: Essential Work, Poverty Wages, and the View from Behind the Supermarket Register > Status Update

I’m very surprised that at the supermarket she worked at there were baggers to bag the groceries for the shoppers, even in 2021/2022. In China where labor is relatively cheap, shoppers do their own bagging for decades.
Weighing everything on a scale at self checkout is very stressful and confusing. Luckily I only experienced it once in a small town in Portugal last year.
