Okay.

OMG.

WTF is with these stores that don't have the bag people handy??

Am I wrong here????

I go to Giant. With 2 kids. In a car cart.

Do my thing. Shop and stuff.

My kids have a screaming match in the produce section. Old ladies look at me like I'm the devil. You know.

So.

I get all finished up.

And You KNOWWWWW how they put the F'ing CANDY BARS rite in the checkout.

Okay fine kids. Pick out a candy bar. Whatever.

Well the girls checkin me out.

Groceries are building the fuck up, cuz theres NO BAGGER!!!

She asks me for my bonus card atleast 3 times, cause shes MENTAL!!!!!

So, I', lookin around, every other customer in the other check outs is bagging their own shit!

FUCK THAT!

I go to grocerie stores partlky because I'm not a farmer.

If I wanted to do my own shit, I'd go out in the field and pick fucking crops.

No.

I'm not gonna bag.

So she rings me all up, and goes. HUUUHHHHH and starts bagging my stuff, while I text away on my phone, ignoring her little hissy fit over doing her own job.

Is it just me???

Or is this bullshit??

Hope your day gets better

There's such thing as Grocery Store Ettiquette?

I'd rather bag my own groceries,
but then I dont ever have screaming kids with me.

I thought by Grocery Store Ettiquette, you ment like having courtesy for you each other, your fellow customer.

When ever I go into Whole Foods everyone is such an ass, and all me! me! me! get outta my way!

It took me a few visits to realise that it wasnt just the occasional ass-hole customer. But it was that pretty much everyone who shops at whole foods is an ass-hole, even the workers and manager.

So now when I go I have a if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em' attitude.

I used to work in a grocery store, and I hated it.

I would've bagged your groceries and engaged you in interesting coversation at the same time.

I could've sworn u were a farmer

Some stores don't have baggers and you have to do it yourself.

that sounds like an episode of 24

they shouldn't put the candy near the checkout. Over here they ask if you want help packing but always give you a look if you say yes!

I did too. I LOVED it. Not sure why.

In fact, I dream all the time about working there again.

people love doing it so much in Mexico, that they volunteer to bag items for free at thier local Wal-Mart!

I remember the only good thing is that I paid $35 a month to the union, and got 100% medical and 90% dental benefits.

And at 19, I was making like $18 an hour, time and a half on Sundays, and triple time on holidays.

It's not like that anymore I hear.

gemini13 said:

Yeah. No.

Its not.

horatio said:

Serouisly though!@!!

Would you guys do this, if it was someone elses job????

I can't bag.

I have not signed up for that job, nor am I trained in that field!

TotalANXiousNESS said:

Is this the farming job or the bagging job?

TotalANXiousNESS said:

wait..it is an episode of 24!

TotalANXiousNESS said:

honestly, I get pissed off when it real busy, and the baggers are spread thin.
And the person infront of me is just standing there, with a check book in hand of all things, NOT bagging thier groceries and waitng for a bagger to come and do it.
That infuriates me and is inconsiderate of the people standing behind her/him and ther cashier.

that and paying for things with a check are what grate on my nerves on a busy grocery day.

text messaging is way more important than getting your kids out of the store faster.

Where I live we not only bag everything ourselves but we pay for the bags too. On the other hand they're sturdy plastic bags and not like the flimsy Safeway ones that break if you put two items in them.

wait...everyone's giving YOU the stink-eye at the grocery and YOU'RE the one complaining about grocery store etiquette??? only YOU...

ok, i'll play

i always use the self-checkout lane at my local grocery, which means i bag my own groceries. it's faster and the only ineptitude i have to deal with is my own, as opposed to having to depend on a cashier and a bagging person. i know people who are self-checkout-phobic, and they need to get over it. it's far more efficient.

TotalANXiousNESS said:

First off, you are so totally a farmer.

Second off, gimme your mobile # so I have another person to text. Seriously, I've got unlimited texts and no shame.

DanceWme said:

of fuck

if i forget to take it in to walmart i better say "one bag will be fine"
otherwise they love to break it up into three different bags! what do i
need with three walmart bags? i hate 'em

life revolves around Dani. haven't you realized that?

I'm in no hurry to get my kids out of the store. Why am I in a hurry to get my kids out of the store?

I just don't wanna bag my own groceries.

I am not about to do that.

No way No how!!!!

And Anx. If I'm only getting a few things, I do use the self checkout thing.
