I used to work as a supermarket cashier. It was incredibly boring. Self-checkouts, for all their flaws, are a step forward for humanity.

I remember growing up, cashiers needed to know the price of every single vegetable (no PLUs) and fruit. Prices were labelled on boxes, but otherwise memorization was required.
Then you had to make change, too, although by that point the amount was already calculated.
