Publix supermarkets actually had a few lawsuits against them in the past due to women not being promoted beyond cashier or customer service. I had a guy friend in high school that went from bagboy to supervising his own store in four years. His girlfriend had just made it from cashier to customer service desk in the same amount of time. For the most part where I live it's mostly women behind the cash register in the grocery stores. The only males I've seen are kids in high school and junior college and they're mostly baggers. But most of the supervisors and higher-ups seem to be male. It's almost glaringly obvious.

The cashier age ranges seem to be polarizing more around here. Most are under twenty or over fifty. It's odd. But, this being Florida, there aren't as many jobs for older women since they're not considered to be on the "career path". And of course, there's the blonde twits twirling hair and snapping bubble gum that get reprimanded by their superiors due to poor customer service. Most of them can't be more than 18. I've never seen a cashier sitting down in Florida, either. It a job requirement that you can stand for long hours just like the stock personnel has to be able to lift heavy things. The little old ladies have calves like rocks.
