on military bases with a commissary they have people who will bag your stuff and take it to your car but they don’t get paid and work only for tips and if you try to waive them off, even in self checkout, they get really pissed. it was either retirees, spouses, or teens and the worst by far were the spouses. and gently caress goddamn if you didn’t have any cash for a tip I just stopped going because despite being tax free they just added a “stocking fee” which was the same as tax and then you had to tip the bagger. just absolute scam all around

Agile Vector posted:i kinda liked bagging. the front manager was decent and when we got self-checkout the few people that dared use them were easy to bag for at their cautious pace I feel this in my core. I was a bagger in my early teens and the mental sorting algorithm I built to bag groceries is forever seared in my brain. I can bag groceries today and fall right back into it

polyester concept posted:when I worked as a grocery bagger as a teen we also had to offer to take the groceries out to the customer’s car and load them into the trunk. that poo poo is unheard of now lol. sometimes we even got tips This still happens at the Publix closest to me. It seems intermittent and more based on quantity of groceries, how busy the store is, and age of the person buying them. Usually every other week if I have a full cart the bagger offers to help. No other grocery store in the area ever did that though.

Usually every other week if I have a full cart the bagger offers to help. i worked at a harris teeter in high school (1 million years ago) and it was unofficial policy to offer it for large carts if we werent busy. mostly it was for old folks which i was cool with, but then you'd have people who would always demand it and those people always sucked rear end and would get mad if you didnt load it the exact way they wanted. just the worst

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I feel this in my core. Extremely same. I'm actually disappointed with myself whenever I go shopping now, because of how long it takes me to do the bagging and how poorly I do it now. I used to make Paper-In-Plastic cuboids by playing 3d Tetris, my bags were packed, extremely legit, not too heavy, and fit in the cart perfectly. Now I'm just tossing the eggs on top of a shapeless heap of cold things and calling it a day. I've become the very thing I fought against!

I assume they have some big corporate mandates. My county is some weird battleground for a lot of grocery store chains which I think keeps most of them on their toes regarding extra perceived customer bonuses like helping put your groceries away. I have never seen anyone working at a Harris teeter, food lion, or lowes food offer that which is why it stood out so much.

rotor posted:Sun mice and the little calibrated metal plate you had to put them on these ruled because they came out at a time when optical mice were absolutely unheard of. the place I worked at doing helpdesk as a teenager had sun machines because they interfaced well with our ancient AS/400 and Oracle system. the day those mice showed up in the round of sun machine upgrades, they blew everyone’s minds. they also let me take home like 5 Sun pizza box machines because ~90’s internet and data security~ I wish I still had them. ALSO a big part of my job was going out in the shop and swapping the rubber keyboard covers on the as/400 dumb terminals because they would get shredded up with use and without them the keyboards got irreparably clogged with weld dust.
