Baggers
Why is it that the baggers at the market always use the cloth bags I bring in to bag the light stuff in? The cereal, bread, mac n cheese? And then they cram the plastic bags with the flour, vegetables, juice, cat litter, etc? Also I really love it when I buy the graham cracker crust for a cheesecake I plan to make for someone else to go into the same bag with the canned goods. Because I really was hoping that crust would be smashed to bits before I got home to use it.
What is that about? What ever happened to baggers with sense?
That's why once I get to my car I repack just about every bag to ensure there are not any surprises like the eggs at the bottom of the bag of canned goods. Except I'm getting tired of that every time I shop. Lately I have been politely asking the baggers to put the heavy items in the cloth sacks. And would you believe that they look at me in disbelief. Such as why would I EVER request something so odd. Heavy items in the cloth sacks? I must be crazy. Usually the baggers do as I request only to mutter "Well, I didn't want to pack the bags too heavily." To which I always reply "That's okay, really, I can handle lifting them." Sure I am a woman but I am not a weakling. Seriously people. Am I a hunched over 100 year old Granny with a cane? No. Remember me? The woman that had to help you lift my 40#s of cat litter out of my basket since that was too heavy for you? Pack my bags too heavy......Sheesh.
Another reason why I prefer the self checkout at the stores. Only then to cringe when the attendant rushes over to "help" me smash up my food into my sacks. Ugh. Can't I win at this shopping thing?
Actually the only place I have zero problem with is Trader Joe's. They have rather bright people working there to begin with and that might have something to do with their retention of reason. Instead of assuming I can't carry a bag over 10lbs they ask me how heavy I want them to pack the sacks! Amazing! They communicate to their customers instead of trying to use their ESP skills.
So my question is why are baggers so horrible nowadays? What ever happened to packing bags with like things and even loads? Is it that hard?

Um, have I mentioned that I'm glad to be home? :)
I used to over pack the bags then tripple bag it, plus tie the tops of every bag for the people who were assholes.
