My name is Anna. I'm 28-years-old with a degree in
literature and a life story that is both completely ordinary
and a little bit unusual. I've worked for eight years in a supermarket. I started out
there to fund my studies and have some financial
independence. But when I couldn't find any work using my
degree, I stayed on and became that stalwart of modern life,
a checkout girl. The till. Not a great conversationalist, unless you count
the beeps it makes when you scan the produce. As a result of
listening to that robotic noise I was becoming a little like
a robot myself. The fleeting interaction with the customers
was not enough to make me feel human. Happily though,
contact with my colleagues did just that.
