Supermarket shopping

[mirrorshard]

Does anyone let supermarket checkout assistants pack for them? I suppose it's not so bad if you're using a trolley till, but even then they're likely to use too many carrier bags and pack things in the wrong order, because they have no incentive not to.

Oh, and the order they pack things in depends on the order you put them into the basket, but they try to be sensible, spread the weight, put the delicate stuff on top. I've never seen them use too many bags, if anything it's the opposite. The only time I've bought a reasonable amount of food which I had to carry home recently in carrier bags (this is due to disability, folks who don't know me, not laziness!) was in flooding rain and the bag broke just far enough outside Scotmid that I rashly decided it wasn't worth walking back for a new bag.
