Grocery Packing

Most of the grocery stores that we go to - we have to pack our groceries ourselves. Like, the cashier puts them down a conveyor and we have to pack them into bags ourselves at the end of it. I like this. I'm with you - however I can pack the groceries to get them in the smallest amount of space possible.. is how I'm going to try to do it. I personally am NOT fussy about how things are, so long as obviously things like bread and eggs and chips aren't at the bottom of a bag (common sense stuff - no one likes smushed bread!) But other than that, I'm not picky at all!

are you picky about the way the operator packs your groceries?

I think we live in the wrong country,
To be fair they always ask people if they need a hand with the packing, but one look at the line behind and its a shake of the head, and grab the stuff as fast as possible and bung it in our bags for life
We dont use the plastic bags,

I don't tell them how to pack my groceries. I do try to keep my bananas "safe" from being thrown around. As for my eggs they usually wrap them in a bag separately or with just a loaf of bread on top. Otherwise everything else can be packed as they wish. I do usually add more stuff to certain bags because I too don't want to bring home more bags then I need. They sometimes pack a bag half empty which is a waste of space.

I am not picky about grocery packing as long as my bread is separated so it doesn't get squashed, my eggs don't get broke and that non food items are not in with food items...okay so maybe I am a bit picky but with those three things I feel like if one of the above things were to happen that the food would be ruined. What good are eggs if they are broken? What good is bread if the pieces are all smashed to where you can't spread anything on it? What good or safe is bread if it is placed in a nag with floor cleaner, bleach or bug spray? I think though that the things I ask are a mandatory know when you are trained as a packer because I have never really had to ask a packer to do it they always seem to know to do it.

I would SO rather do it myself, because I want the dairy isolated from other foods, the frozen things together, the vegetables NOT in with heavy cans and jars so that they get crushed and wilted, etc. I don't like to say anything to them, but sometimes you have to.

The other issue is their handling my food. That I do not like at all. It is bad enough that the other customers go around touching everything. Yes, and I get really grossed out when cashiers lick their fingers and then touch money.

I don't worry much about packing of grocery. I should be careful when I buy liquid things, but those bottles will be sealted and liquid won't come out. The people at super markets have their own way of packing things. I have seen that they pack vegetables and fruits seperately from other grocery items. Also, they pack meat sepeartely from other things.

The packers at our local store really know what they are doing. They woudln't do something like pack milk in the same bag as raw meat, or shampoo. As long as products aren't squished, or packed in a way there one would contaminate another, I am not upset. They were trained well.
