But our till ladies have had their brain removed instead. I sort my items onto the moving thingie, so that all meats are together, all cans are together etc. What does till lady do? Reach over stuff to scan the things behind it before returning to the stuff right in font of her. I end up with 4 bags on the go at any one time, just to sort it out properly. It makes unpacking so much easier if everything is together the way it should be. <br />Self checkouts? The bane of my life!! Unexpected item in the bagging area....I am going to have nightmares about that one day!!MsMooplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906607579420622949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13532063.post-58342822923286701022011-10-31T21:01:31.590-06:002011-10-31T21:01:31.590-06:00I LOVE the self check outs but my grocery only has...I LOVE the self check outs but my grocery only has the 15 items or less for that.<br /><br />And our Walmart has mostly broken self scans. But I won't buy my groceries there anyway. There are some things I'm willing to pay more for.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13532063.post-28504602122911260352011-10-31T08:40:42.943-06:002011-10-31T08:40:42.943-06:00Having worked in a grocery store for the past two ...Having worked in a grocery store for the past two years, I feel your pain. Some of these people don't seem to have two clues to rub together. My suggestion is to not had them your bag of bags. Place your "cold stuff" on the belt first. Hand them the cold bag. then the smooshy stuff (bread, chip bags etc) and hand them the bags for the smooshy stuff. Etcetera, etcetera. Maybe they will be offended, maybe not, but you will have groceries bagged the way YOU want. And THAT'S what we get paid for. Giving you what you want, your way.Caffatosbridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561461552155913033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13532063.post-24280529315018891142011-10-29T03:21:01.627-06:002011-10-29T03:21:01.627-06:00Renee, you know what your problem is, don't yo...Renee, you know what your problem is, don't you. You're too logical! Everything you're doing when it comes to shopping makes sense! Those kids don't know anything about that, LOL. I reckon that's why I like the U-Scan aisles. <br /><br />My pet shopping peeve is that they use too many of those plastic bags. One item per bag? Com'on. And now that the manufacturers make them lighter weight to save money, they have to double them up so they don't break. Genius at work.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.com
