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.

Two easy solutions!

1. Bring your own bags, hand them over first
2. Unpack your stuff in the order you want so it gets to them that way
3. Profit! Or, a quicker escape to where you have to get to next!

If I did 1, they'd put things in them, which is one of the things I want to avoid. And I always do bring my own bags; they're right there on my shoulder when I walk past the till.

2 is why I mentioned trolley tills. Even when it gets to them that way, though, I'll want some things put in one bag and some in a different one.

It's easy enough to tell them not to, but it still annoys me that it's necessary.
