Synopsis
It is 2008 and self-service tills have arrived in the local supermarket, bringing with them a raft of problems for the staff.
Edie reckons it's just a matter of time before there are job losses; Janice tries to concentrate on her knitting, which is a second source of income; whilst Kelly has found God and wants everyone else to join her. Suddenly there is yet another case of "till rage " in the shape of distressed customer Dawn. What follows is a bitter-sweet indictment of the advance of technology and how it has made the already difficult lives of these women much harder.
