That's just a tiny incremental change to the supermarket you're already in.
The idea of 'pre-packed food, with a bar-code you have to pick up yourself' - quite a leap from standing at the counter asking the aproned worker to cut, weigh and wrap your piece of cheese.
Then possibly wait for them to open the barrel for your next item etc.
- telesilla 8y agoI really enjoy shopping at smaller markets in Europe that still have counter staff. Spain in particular still has many of them. It's much more pleasurable but I wonder, if it's because of the lower wages there that they can still afford to do this, as in northern europe I can't remember the last time I saw anyone except a shelf-stocker in the big supermarkets.
