A couple of weeks ago, RetailWire posted an excerpt of a study from the University of Herfordshire that recommends grocers establish a slow checkout lane to improve the shopping experience for the elderly. The study found “over 60s” largely desired slow checkout lanes in order to talk to grocery staff. Feedback to this recommendation from people in the retail industry was all over the place. Some said this would be discriminatory and insulting to seniors. Some said you can’t provide a special checkout lane to every group that wants one. Some thought it was a great idea.
