A Staffed Checkout Throughout the Day

You are shopping at Saltwind Grocers in Dovren Bay, a coastal town in New Brunswick. At quieter times, the store offers only self-checkout while employees restock shelves and help customers as needed. A customer service employee, Anika Pelletier, asks your opinion about requiring grocery stores to keep at least one staffed checkout open throughout shopping hours. Some customers want a reliable option for having an employee scan their groceries. Others think stores should be able to move employees between duties when few people are shopping.
