A Dutch supermarket chain introduced slow checkouts for people who enjoy chatting, helping many people, especially the elderly, deal with loneliness.
The move has proven so successful that they installed the slow checkouts in 200 stores.

@maartenvda How very Dutch! I wonder whether the lines of folks waiting for checkout get chatty also? I would imagine so?
@wyrmeboi @maartenvda I always do. Some people think I’m weird but I have some fun interactions with many others.
