I am being bumped off shifts by a retiree

Bullwinkle, completely get you with the grocery store and the self check out lanes. Back on the mainland, I always refused to bag my own groceries at Safeway, my opinion is that I was going to take away the possibility of someone else getting an entry level job, if I always stepped up to relieve Safeway of that obligation. Why should I pay them and then have to bag my own groceries because they didn't want to hire and staff at appropriate levels. Here on Hawaii island, well, my partner gives me crap if I don't chip in and help bag. He doesn't want me to be seen as the angry white guy from the mainland.
