I do. I have to admit I like the self-checkout too. And for the same reasons. I can see that each thing scans right, I can use my own bags & pack it the way I want it so that icecream isn't bagged with laundry detergent, and I can scan my own coupons. AND I don't have to make nice with someone and I can keep listening to the X22 report in my ears, lol
One of my first jobs was a bagger at a grocery store. Great job, so I know how to bag properly. But today, laundry detergent and ice cream are packaged pretty well, the risk is pretty low that's really an issue anymore. Pretty sure I had headphones in during my last grocery run, just pause it when you talk to the checkout person. shrug
You're a four-leaf clover, today's baggers (when you can find one) have not been trained to bag properly & I like to bag my items depending on where in the house I'm taking those items. And clearly baggers don't know where I put my stuff so it's better and easier to do it myself
Yeah I refuse to bag anything at this point, because I'm the customer not their worker. My point is that mixing stuff is less critical now, but for sure could be improved on if you care enough to do so. Not saying your preferences should change, just saying I don't like being treated as free help and refuse to go to places that make me self-bag large amounts of groceries. A bag or two, sure that's often pretty quick.
Do you bag an entire cart of groceries? Like $300 worth? Hard pass.
At the rate we're going $300 worth of groceries is going to cost $3,000 - and fit in a single bag.
