Several supermarkets are now choosing to sanctuary certain positions and have set up “blah blah checkouts”, where the hostesses take the time to talk and accompany customers.
Exchanging good ideas, confiding, and even joking. At the checkout of a supermarket, it is allowed. This had disappeared with the arrival of automatic checkouts. This is an opportunity for Salima, cashier, to hear from each customer. The hosts and hostesses of these cash desks are volunteers and some already have their regulars.
All the hostesses of these special funds say they find meaning in their work. “Customers need that contact. Sometimes they just come for a baguette, but they take 15-20 minutes, they take their time to talk. I’m there for them”, says Salima. At this point, these slow crates remain marginal. There are a few dozen in France, but the Carrefour brand plans to equip all of its stores by the end of March.
