Not really news, but certainly accurate.

At the Asian supermarket where I shop almost
every day, the stockers seem to be about 100%
Hispanic, while the checkers are about 50/50
Hispanic and Asian. I find the Hispanic checkers
tend to have a good command of English, while
the Asians are more hit-and-miss. Perhaps the
latter make up for it with Asian language skills
or maybe they're cut some slack because they're
somebody's cousin. Some of them don't seem to
understand English at all.
