I don't know if I can adequately explain just how interesting this scene was, but I’ll try. Some places have “Family only” cashiers, where only women or women with a male relative can check out. This supermarket had a large number of family only check-outs, and every single one with a female cashier (quite unusual and encouraging). But they also had something I’ve never seen before: a screen barring them and their customers from the bagger, who of course is always a man. This capture was very difficult to get, even with my cell phone, but I hope the explanation conveys this most unusual setup. Visible is the cashier at right, customers at left, and the bagger behind the barrier, which has a sign saying “For families only.”
