How are baggers and greeters dystopian? They’re basically just floating extra employees getting paid to lighten the workload for everyone
The fact that we no longer have baggers and greeters feels more dystopian. Because it’s not like the work went away, the people remaining just have to spend more time alone while taking on more tasks

we’ve never had them. we went from over-the-counter to small corner shops to larger stores. the only times someone has bagged your groceries here is when you called to let them know you would be coming, or all the products were behind a counter. the last major over-the-counter chain closed here in the 90’s. in that light, people hired specifically for talking to you or handling the things you’ve bought just smells of “bullshit jobs”.
