  This OP picture is from somewhere in Europe. “Till” is the English word, while Americans would say something like cash register or check out counter. And SPAR is a European chain of grocery stores

    She’s Irish, and has possibly one of the most Irish names I’ve ever seen.

  But in the U.S our food is not fresh enough to be bagged by the customer. It must be wrapped so it can sit out for a considerable duration.

  Oh, right.

  Maybe we should look into that to reduce unemployment.

    The Asian model, create endless useless jobs to make sure everyone can have something to do even if it’s just standing in front of a parking entrance to point people in.

  Some places in the UK will ask if you want help packing your bags.

  Colruyt insists on their weird “cashier tranfers the items into another cart while scanning and bags them for you while they’re at it” strategy. And they do own the Spar brand in Belgium.

  Although as franchisees some of the Spar stores keep the regular tills. Unfortunately mine does the weird cart transfer thing, which is much slower, though apparently it deters theft…?

    At my local Price Chopper they have occasional baggers. It’s definitely not an expensive store.
