Grocery Store Baggers

[Pappy]

Yes. Our local Publix has baggers and they offer to take it to your car.

Some places have baggers but often it is the cashier.

I like to bag my own groceries. You have to at WINCO grocery stores. I find baggers do a poor job if they are the bagger or the cashier.

I often go through self check out to take my time and bag my own groceries.

I almost never do self checkout - prefer stores to employ more people, not fewer.

I'm with you, Pepper. Our local Walmart (where my son works) has redesigned the store to have far fewer manned checkouts and more self-checks. So my son has to watch eight self checks at once and it's a nerve wracking job with half the eight needing help and the other half stealing.

They have never had baggers. They have one older man bringing the carts back from their huge parking lot, in all sorts of extreme weather. He had a heart attack last year but is back on the job, always pushed for greater speed by the managers.

It's all about Walmart saving money by only having to pay half as many fulltime employees and working the ones they do have to death. As if the Waltons needed more profit.

corporate places stink. all they care about is money.

I don't either.
