Feeling like a fossil

I chat with the girls at the farm shop and the pick-up point at Sainsbury's who both use my name but concede it is easy to avoid human interaction in the retail sector.

I feel the same Aveline. Our local supermarket only has three checkouts with humans on now and about twenty self service tills. I thought the other day that customers now do all the scanning and packing and prices haven't gone down. It's a chore and lonely. Back in the dark ages I was a Saturday girl on the bread counter at Woolworths, it was a lovely job, all chatter and helping people. There can't be any of that satisfaction now.
