I would think that working on a checkout requires maybe 1 hour of 'training' at the most really. When I worked in burger king years ago I got shown the till then expected to just do the job from there...took half an hour. Well worth it for the businesses, 6 weeks worth of work for free...only inconvenience being having to do the hour or so training once every 6 weeks. Bargain really.
