Do you help bag your groceries or just stand there and wait?

I always bag, it makes it easier when I put items away. My canned goods are together, frozen foods together, bread and eggs, refrigerator items together. I have seen cashier throw grapes in with a 5lb bag of sugar, lol.

I always assist if there isn't a bagger to do the job. My husband will do the bagging even if there is a bagger. He tends to do a poor job of it. I end up scorning him for putting bananas in with the bread or meat in with soap. I would rather do it myself if I had a choice. I shop at Aldi quite often and you have to bag your own groceries and either buy your bags or bring your own.

if they're really short on hand, i pack my own bags, especially if there's already a long line behind me. i take great joy in packing my own groceries, in fact, it makes me feel really useful.

Thankfully where I shop have different people for different things, one makes the bill one boy puts the groceries in bag so this situation does not come.

When I see they are short staffed or if the employee is in training, I will help bag my grocery. I do alot of self checkout so most of the time I bag my own grocery anyway.

It is hard for cashiers today. I try to help if they do not have anyone to help them when I shop at stores that have baggers. I do shop alot at sav-a-lot and you bag your own there. So, it doesn't bother me. Course if the cashier is really fast, she/he may not want your help as they may be faster. :)

most of the stores are not having separate people for doing this.the cahier has to do it after finishing their work.i wont wait for the cashier to bag my groceries.after billing few items i will bag mine and will help them.if we are going for self service then we will be doing it.so why dont we do the same when going for billing from a cashier.

no actually i wanted to help packing my stuff but then i feel that all t poly bags n things are near to the counter n it wll look odd if i start doing it...so i dont help even a single bit...but yes after in the walmart they pack all the stuff i do put it in my cart..so that is the only thibng i do by my own...

If they are busy and don't have a bagger I will help, it not only helps the cashier but helps you get out quicker, and helps people behind you get out quicker.

I let the cashier do it. My mom is a cashier so maybe she would be grateful if a lot more people helped bag groceries.

I think it was for bagging.

it depends for me, if they are packing them straight into the bag as they scan them then i let them do it, but if the groceries are banking up on the other side of the register then i usually help out. Sometimes its better to do it yourslef anyway as i have had bananas in with the tins on top of them on more than one occasion.
