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.

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 have to bag medications into bags and it’s so satisfying when it fits extremely nicely

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.
