Abstract: The mobilization of the workforce in French supermarkets have for a long time relied on internal promotion and the fragmentation of the labour market. While some studies already highlight the decline of meritocratic logic, our observations also state an erosion of the logic of the fragmentation of the labour market. This article explores the distance between cashiers? actual prospects and their expectations, resulting from arbitrations between activities (work, family, etc. ....) pertaining to several spheres of life. It highlights a tension generated by the emancipation of cashiers from the traditional categories which still constitute the basis of the employment relationship.
