This just reminds me of my friends who work at extra foods. Their manager actually kicks people out who complain about their job performance. He’s all, “If you don’t like the service go somewhere else and get the Hell out of my face!” It’s hilarious. He’s an awesome boss.

I reuse bags in the house, usually to line garbage cans or to empty my kitty litter (or my cat’s, anyway) into them. I have never in my life seen someone bring their own bag to a grocery store. Then again, I live in Texas. We’re wasteful and we’re proud of it! I don’t know if bringing your own bag has started catching on in the more civilized states.

That’s why I like those self-serve checkouts. I can organize my bags the way I like, and I don’t get a million bags. (For some reason, the cashiers at the store where I shop most often seem determined to use as many bags as possible.) As for the bags, I save those and give them to my parents. I’m not entirely sure what they do with them, but they seem happy to get them and it gets them out of my way, so good deal.

Ah, bagger. I used to be a bagger at Winn Dixie. I miss that job. The only training you get is, “Don’t put bread, chips or other ‘crushables’ in a bag with heavy things or on the bottom of the cart.” “Don’t put chemicals or insect killers in with food.” “Cold items go in a bag by themselves.” and “Hot items go in a bag by themselves.”
I still dream of Winn Dixie. Man, I miss that job. It was my favourite.

Maybe I’d make a good bagger. I have been playing Tetris for about 15 years

I love bagging. It is my dream to bag again!
The way the stores train you is to make you play 72 hours of Tetris straight.

I happen to work at a grocery store, and when I was hired, I had to sit through a half-hour video, a half-hour watching someone else bag, and then an hour of “shadowing” a bagger, which is the same thing as watching, except I was very close behind him and was peering over his shoulder. When all was said and done, the manager I was reporting to said, and this is a quote, “We have to put you through all that because corporate says so, so bag however you want, just don’t squash anything, and keep the meat products separate.”
