It's a very rare checkout operator that mistreats the goods. I
suspect they don't last long as checkout operators once they get a
compliant or two against them or they modify their behaviour.

Checkout ops generaly have a brain unlike the shelf stackers, it's
not quite a simple a job as it first appears.

Perhaps I'm oversensitive about it having worked at an independent family
