There is momentum within the Kingdom to employ women - specifically Saudi divorced or widowed women over the age of 28 - as cashiers in supermarket settings.

Back in June, and with the full support of the local labor office folks, HyperPanda hired 16 Saudi women to work the cash registers at one of their stores in Jeddah. It was, everyone is quick to say, a social experiment.

Will the women be able to do the job?

Will customers go to a female cashier?

Will the women be subjected to harassment and embarrassment an possibly even shame?

Of course, to my Western way of thinking, these are all pretty silly questions, but here in Arabia where women are relegated to a very small subset of jobs - basically teachers, health care professionals and unseen business owner - folks needed some reassurance that this whole employing women idea would work.

Turns out is it.

Well sort of.

The female cashiers are doing well. They're enjoying their jobs and they're enjoying their new sense of accomplishment, self-sufficiency and pride in having a job.

HyperPanda has plans to provide an estimated 2,500 women with work in their stores across the Kingdom. The women will be paid up to 3,000 riyals a month - about $800 USD, not a bad chunk of change considering - despite stereotypes to the contrary - the gross national income per capita here is $6,851.39 per person.

(For comparison, the gross national income per capita in the US is $33,070.30 per person.)

But, of course, the same things that made the experiment a success - you know, women doing well, feeling good about themselves, becoming more self-sufficient and, for lack of a better phrase, productive members of society - might ultimately lead to the experiment's demise.

Yep.

Working is, according to some, "humiliating" for women.

Others worry that working will lead to mingling - and we all know what mingling leads to.

Still others worry that allowing women into the workforce - remember this is just allowing them to be cashiers at supermarkets - will mean more unemployed Saudi men. (I really like this last one since the number of Saudi men who actually work behind a counter remains relatively small. Counter work - cashier work - is apparently below them somehow. mmm)

Anyway, my favorite is Shiekh Al Ahmed.

(I'm going to hand it over to Eman Al Nafjan at Saudi Woman here because she simply says it better than I ever could.)

Shiekh Al Ahmed is calling on all ultra-conservatives to boycott HyperPanda and informed the PVPV that it is their right to file a lawsuit against them. He is arrogantly confident in his followers and the power they have that he says let’s give them a five day warning before we start the boycott. He says that he had called an executive from HyperPanda and found him to be stubborn and insistent in proceeding with employing women. He claims that their insistence is a sign that it is most likely an American supported and plotted scheme to westernize the country. However, my favorite part is when he says that ultra-conservatives from neighboring countries, like Syria, Egypt and Yemen, call him up to show their support and advise him not to allow what happened to their countries happen to Saudi Arabia.
Remember, this is the guy who  "called for the building of separate floors [at the Grand Mosque in Mecca] for women after demolishing the expansions carried out during the Ottoman era and the rule of King Saud".

Anyway, in response to the Shiekh's so-called boycott, Nafjan proposes a truly great idea - that we all throw our support behind HyperPanda. Her logic, as usual, is flawless.

I keep telling people that the more Saudi Arabia opens up especially when it comes to women’s rights, the more Islamic fundamentalist groups worldwide will too. It will have a dominoes effect on their approach and lifestyle. Because so many of these fundamentalists look to Saudi Arabia as the prime example as to how life should be lived. That’s why I’m going to do my part by supporting HyperPanda’s initiative. Although I’m a Carrefour regular since they are literally five minutes away, I will go the extra distance to buy my groceries from HyperPanda. I hope that others will do the same.
Altho I rarely shop off camp - especially during Ramadan - I'm with Nafjan on this one.

HyperPanda, here I come! sandgetsinmyeyes.blogspot.com
