> There seems to be a lot of foot dragging these days. I was at Kroger a couple days ago. The woman in front of me had 3/4 of a cart of things and was bagging her own because nobody was there to do it. The young (about 25 years old) cashier didn’t seem to be in any hurry

Have you seen [Broomstick’s thread ( So You Don’t Think Grocery Workers Deserve Protection….)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-you-dont-think-grocery-workers-deserve-protection/851708)?
