Yep. The majority of supermarket jobs are low-skill jobs that are for someone who wants a little extra income on nights or HS jobs. Unless you attempt to work your way up to, say, butcher or a department manager/supervisor or higher level position, it is not a career job to bag groceries, push carts, etc.

Both my sons also had supermarket jobs in high school and they are both doing very well today and left the nest in their early 20s.

I actually think supermarkets are a great way to groom our young folks for the real life skills of the working world as it offers them their first customer-facing experience in a high-volume and sometimes hostile environment - such as an authoritarian manager or the "customer from hell." Thus you learn how to handle difficult people and other adversity with a smile on your face.

After my supermarket stint, I went to work in a restaurant - which was the major leagues of "customers from hell'! Also, I'm pretty sure the chef there was a young Gordon Ramsey, or one of his relatives.
