Nice thing about it is that I am standing there swiping my stuff and
one of the checkout people who has to be on hand in case self serve
people run into difficulties and I have grown chatty. So I swipe and
she stands and chats to me if she has nothing better to do. I like
it that she has become more than a 'face' to me when there.
