[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love bagging my own groceries. I actually am disappointed if a bagger shows up. I group things so it’s easier to put away at home. [/quote]

And I hate bagging.  I move slowly and I get anxious that everyone behind me is impatiently waiting on me.  That's why I go to a full service grocery store, so that I can watch the prices, arrange coupons, pull out my credit card, and put the bags back in the cart while someone else bags.

It would be fine to say “sorry, do you mind if I watch the prices instead? I’ll help you bag after” but that’s not what op said. OP was unnecessarily jerkish about the whole thing.

This thread should not be about whether a customer should or shouldn’t bag their groceries. It’s about whether you need to shove it in a service workers face even if they asked you something that was technically wrong of them. It’s always better to be gracious and cooperative.[/quote]

[b]But the cashier didn't ASK; she ANNOUNCED.  [/b]And she got a short but polite response from the customer, who was clearly taken aback at being told that she was going to do part of the cashier's job.[/quote]

I’m aware. You missed the entire point of my post, which is that it doesn’t matter. OP did not respond graciously, and that is why OP ITA. The fact that OP was “taken aback” at being asked to lift a finger is actually the problem….[/quote]

So you’re saying it was totally ok for the cashier to be rude and literally tell OP she was going to bag - that the cashier is in no way an a$$hole?
Just want to make sure I’m reading this correctly. [/quote]

I’m saying OP’s job is not to stick it to a cashier for being rude. That’s exactly what my first post says. Beyond that, I’m not particularly interested in issuing a verdict on whether the cashier was actually rude or not, since that’s not relevant, and the advice in both cases is the same.[/quote]
