No this is not my new line of work. Last afternoon I was in the middle of a plumbing project when I had to make that 2nd trip we all make to the store to finish. I went to OSH. One of the long time cashiers was standing front and center in the first lateral aisle. We got to chatting as I do at the register when no one is in line.

I asked her about it and we agreed it was a total waste. I gave her the theory about working the aisles or less new hires and lower prices. She totally agreed with that and agave a hearty laugh. This gal is not making only minimum wage.

She does know the store fairly well, but I've never seen her work on the floor, only the registers. I doubt if I asked her anything more than where the tools were that I'd get much of an answer.

I don't need someone to say hi or welcome. The local supermarket did away with greeters after a few months. Now those I could see being a watchful eye as they were only a few feet from the door.

But I think we all know where the real eye is up there in the smoked upside down domes.
