Cashier job offered by Safeway, here’s how to apply

Safeway opens its first five Canadian stores in Manitoba:

Grocery stores were typically 1,000 square feet, and customers purchased only several days’ worth of food at a time because of the fact that quick-melting ice blocks were the standard source of home refrigeration. Customers would provide a grocery list to clerks behind the counter. The clerks would select the items and bag them. The cashier would then ring up the items and give the customer a carbon-copy bill.
