Slide to the left

One quick post while we prepare to go off to the Swedish version of Six Flags / Busch Gardens.

I have discovered the best job to have in Sweden. I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me before as they have the same system in Norway, but the job is…..Grocery clerk. The grocery clerks entire job here is simply to scan the groceries. After they slide your food over the magic scanner they simply wait until you complete the transaction via the ATM terminal or sometimes they have to slide the money into the slots. They have a system like a bill acceptor that is labeled with all of the denominations. They slide the money in the properly labeled slot and then a change machine spits out the change. If you only have change to pay with you just put it in the machine yourself. So here’s the recap: The only skill you need for this job is to slide food across the scanner and to match the numbers on the bills with the numbers on the machine. Sorry if this seems lame, but I need to find a proper retirement job. Maybe supervisor of grocery clerks! Even better!
