All of these internships are disgraceful, even the higher end jobs ones,(these graduates spent money and earned nothing or little for 4 years), if you want someone to work for you, pay them what they have "earned" not an extra 50 quid on top of their dole.

It really make me angry, as I know alot of very profitable businesses partake in this exploitation.

I agree entirely that there will be scumbag employers out there who will exploit the intern but that does not mean iternships should not exist at all.

In most cases I suspect that the choice is not between paying a full wage and internship but between internship and nothing. What you do need however is to make sure that internships are

(a) short duration
(b) in jobs where the intern is learing all the time and helping their future career - simply doing the same thing each day and building up experience does not cut it

A checkout does not seem to tick the box and that is no disrespect to checkout operators. They should be paid the full rate.

I disagree, training personnel is part and parcel of hiring new employees regardless of their experience. The state should not be paying these multinationals to employ desperate graduates, while also displacing experienced tax paying employees, which is what is happening.
