[quote=Anonymous]That's annoying but doesn't surprise me. Harris Teeter (at least the one near me) seems to have moved to a culture of people bagging their own groceries. It wasn't like that pre-Covid, but now it's in a gray area and I think a lot of cashiers have gotten used to people doing it.

One major issue is that Harris Teeter's checkouts are actually set up for there to be a bagger working alongside the checker, bagging groceries. But they don't staff them anymore. So now it's really awkward for everyone. The checker has a small area with plastic bags, but if you bring your own, your bag probably won't fit in that area, so they have to use the turn table thing and it's awkward. Alternatively, you can bag but you have to walk around the counter to the bagging area, which means you either have to go bag before coming back around to pay, or wait until you've paid and then go bag. Either way is not efficient and is awkward for the customer.

Which is why I do self checkout at HT, even when I'm a few items over. At least then there is no confusion and I can bag as I go because it's set up for that.

I like that at Trader Joe's, they always bag your items, their spaces are set up to accommodate you bringing your own bag, and there is no friction. For a while they wouldn't put groceries in your bags due to Covid, but now that people know you can't get Covid from a bag someone brought from home ( :roll: ), that's over, thankfully.[/quote]
