Bro... I completely agree with you on the part that we shouldn't treat anyone like slaves or our personal servants. But I suppose you are missing the entire point that these people are hired by the supermarkets to do certain jobs, otherwise, like Diamondgirl said earlier, they are redundant.
A super market well equipped with adequate security facilities like CCTV does not require more than one person at the counter to do the managing job.
My previous post was much in sarcasm than anything else. Yes at times even I feel sorry for calling the guy in the heat to my car and I do get down many many times to get stuff for myself. I guess it all depends on the mood as well.
Anyhow, I also strongly believe that it is an added facility offered by a supermarket to have a larger customerbase and beat the next door supermarket, who is their competition. Much like offering acceptance of a credit card facility at a restaurant while compared to the ones not offering them.
I am not trying to justify the laziness, but think about time when everyone walked into a store by themselves and behaved real good in selecting a product all on their own without asking for any assistance from the guys working at the supermarket. Don't you think the 'extra' guys working in there are redundant? You might just lead to increase in umemployment ratio. I know it might just be a very tiny figure, but then again, there is a strong possibility of that happening.
Lastly, I am very thankful to Almighty Allah for giving us such a great lifestyle and blessing us with so many luxuries and really do not mean to sound too arrogant. But just think beyond the supermarket guys, there are other jobs too which need to be taken care of, for instance, a teaboy or the person who cleans the office toilet twice or thrice a day. Someone has to do it. I am not sure if you would still be saying the same that it is my tea and I am gonna make it or it is my toilet and I am gonna clean the commode with soap after I go each time.
You're a good guy and one of the nicest person I've known on QL. Do not mean to offend you at all, but only trying to convey my point of view. I could still be very wrong in thinking the way I am.
