My first real job was in a supermarket. Same segregation between the sexes. We filled up the shelves and stockroom back then instead of facing shelves and ordering only enough to partially stock shelves. We wore buttondown shirts, shoes that shined and no long hair or beards.

I worked at Acme. They furnished uniforms and little hats. Everything was neat and clean. I became Head Cashier at a new score and everything was fine until the big boys found out I was only 17. I was making good money. and they let me continue with that pay.

So they hired some old cashier...and turns out she was stealing premiums from the store.....expensive items. (Raleigh Coupons)

I still remember what my day said....If you ever think of stealing one penny, you quit.

I’m a truck driver for a medium sized Midwest grocery chain. That’s the way we still do it. High school boys and young men unload the trucks with pallet jacks and load the freezers and shelves. They also wheel grocery carts to the parking lot and load the customers’ groceries in their cars. Cashiers are all female. They only recently went from white shirts and ties to golf shirts. The managers still wear shirts and ties.
