Welcome to the world of entitlement - most High School kids in the area do not work.

+1 was just going to say high schoolers around here wouldn't be caught dead bagging groceries.. they all think they're too good for that.

You are joking right? This comes down to corporate greed and groceries stories making more profit if they are not employing extra people to do a job that the cashier can do. The lines are a tad longer and customers wait how many minutes more? But imagine the money saved by not paying those employees who stand there and bag?

+1 OP to answer your question this changed in the DC area in the 1990s

Some places aren't allowed to accept tips but the commissary the baggers can accept them

UGH. You're gross. Just bag them yourself and go back into your hole.

Really? And who bags during school hours or during sports or summer school?

It is financial, why pay 5 employees when you can pay 2. More profit for the grocery store.

Snobbery for the WIN!!!


And bonus points for subtlety boasting about how you personally are helping keep unemployment numbers up and D.C. teens jobless by patronage of stores that have done away with cashiers. Bravo to YOU, sister!

One day, the public policy institute or law firm where you work will replace you with a robot.

The cashiers usually bag so slowly that I just do it myself -which is probably their goal anyway.

Welcome to the D.C. area and the lack of customer service. I was at Macy's last weekend and asked one of the employees where I could find something, and she responded, "just look over there, I'm sure it's somewhere on this floor."

Do you find that they bag just as slowly as the developmentally disabled baggers whose work product pp is so annoyed by?

Do any of the Giants still have both baggers and loaders? I remember going back a decade, you'd pull up to the front of the store and someone would load the groceries in the car for you.

The Safeway in Kensington has people who bag for you and take the cart out to your car with you to load it.

I live in SoCal & I am used to either the cashier or a bagger to bag my stuff.

However if the store is really busy, I usually take the initiative and just bag my own stuff.

Oh sure, when I am trying to wrangle my kids, put the groceries on the belt, and deal with payment! You are clueless!

Some of these stores also make you scan your own groceries. Can you believe the nerve of them?! I go there to shop, not to work!!

Most naggers starve on the minimum wage. They are too weak the get into the store.
