The last time we visited my Wife's family who live in Nassau in The Bahamas we noticed that all the supermarkets had teen aged kids ( both kinds ) in uniforms, who bagged the food AND carried it out to your car. They do not get paid by the store, so they rely on tips, which is one US dollar per cart load. On a busy day, a 16 year old can make $25 in cash. The stores control how many baggers work on any given day, with a rotating schedule for each day of the week. JimB.A offshoot of this grocery store discussion. Are there still bag boys? The term is probably baggers now, not bag boys. The last time I experienced this was over 20 years ago. No one takes out your cart for you.
In a full service grocery store, the clerk will pack your bags. Many stores have clerks, but you have to pack your own groceries.
