I can tell you exactly how she ended up working there. I worked as a cashier in college for a bit. See, working a grocery store till is about the most simple job you could have. Very low skill required. Where I worked, the starting pay was barely above minimum wage. But you got a small raise every 1000 hours you worked. These raises topped out somewhere in the mid $20/hour. So a "career" cashier could, slowly over time, achieve a rate of pay that was somewhat disproportionate to the work they did. They essentially become trapped. They're making too much money to easily jump to a different job. Most jobs they would be qualified for wouldn't pay nearly as well as their cashier position. But it's horrible, soul crushing work and I wouldn't recommend it.
