I have a lot of those D classes, so I know exactly what you mean. I
honestly can't imagine what these people will be good for when they
finally decide to enter the job market, especially at a time when so
many things are becoming automated.

 
At least around here 'grocery bagger' is vanishing as a career option.
Most of the ckeckout lanes are unmanned. I had to use one this week
because the self service kiosks don't handle the CostCo refund checks.

 
My wife and I refuse to use the unmanned checkout lanes. Most of the
time, the machine has some problem and we need the assistance of the fat
black woman nearby anyway. You'll see them coming four or five times to
our station because the machine had a heart attack and they need to
enter a code. Considering these problems, and the fact that we're not
the only ones having them, they might want to rethink removing human
cashiers.

Your mistake is assuming that supermarkets want you to have a good
experience. In actual fact they've saved on the salaries of half a dozen
staff.
