Haha - I used to do that too, Sam, and it was a crack-up most of the time. A happy trolley...I love it....

Bagging...

Happens a lot so I started telling them before hand what not to put in with the rest and they normally listen to me.
I usually just go to a place that I can check myself out and bag my own stuff. I got tired of rude cashiers that can't find their butts with both hands and a flashlight, much less bag stuff properly. It just isn't that hard! I have a trick for those people that want to get in your back pocket in line. I act like I don't see them and take a couple of steps back. If they get stepped on a few times, they usually back up. Of course, I always apologize and swear I did not know they were there.
I always have that happen. I shop at a place where you tip the baggers and they are still rude. i am usually a generous tipper but when they tie all the handles of the bag i dont tip well. how am i supposed to tote a lot of things in at once?
I love the phrase "checkout chick"!!!!!!
Anyhow the stores that I shop at either use a million bags or do an awesome job.
On the other hand when I bag my own I jam as much in a bag as possible so I don't have so many to load in my vehicle!!

Me too but some folks just dont get it..
This bugs me!
I always load them on the belt in the order I want them packed - yet the cashier seems to go out of her/his way to lean over and get something that 'fits' in the bag but doesn't belong there. Like the other day when I had ice cream, deoderant, milk and baked potatoes in one bag.
However, in walmart I find the opposite, the cashiers always ask if I mind this and that being put together to save on bags and don't mind if I say no

In Sweden you pack your own groceries! The *checkout chicks* and guys just sit in their chairs scanning away and let your goods keep rolling down to a double sided catchment area where it is guided to one side for you to bag yourself. They put delicate things to the side for you usually. You pay for bags which I think is great since it encourages more people to bring re-usables.
Sometimes its really annoying though paying for bags if I forget to bring reusables. If I underestimate how many I need It's embarrasing to go back and beg for another one when they are already busy with more customers.
It's also a bit of a rush to get everything packed before the next customer is bearing down on you...

What I hate is that they split up the frozen foods or refridgerated stuff over several different bags. I always unpack the frozen first and then the stuff for the fridge and hate searching for stuff thru all the bags
I do it that way too - which is why I pack it on the belt like that! Yet I still get 10 bags where they could use 4 that are packed wrong
Same here! At my work we charge $0.05c a bag
Well guys if you don't like it done a certain way all you have to do is ask!
It's hard to please everyone because everyone likes it done a different way.
We're not mind readers!
5c? wow, we charge around 30c NZ - swedes love their forests and taxes
Wow! I live in a pretty poor area so people would go absolutely NUTS about 30c!
We provide boxes for our shoppers free of charge.

I always put the cold stuff on the conveyor first then the boxes and cans, then keep eggs, fruit, bread, etc... at the very end.
That way it usually ends up fairly right.
And, if I saw someone putting chemicals with my food items I would immediately stop them and say I don't want my food smelling like Bounce!(or whatever)

Wow, you guys must shop at bad stores.
While the baggers where I shop may mix frozen and refrigerated, they generally don't hose it up that badly. LOL
