[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really miss baggers at the grocery store. I wonder how I'll be able to manage when I get older. [/quote]

I don't miss them at all.  They generally sucked at bagging. I prefer bagging my own.  Left to the baggers I would have 3 items in each bag and 5,000 bags to carry.  I pack mine super heavy so I can get it all in one trip.  I'm already old and still do this.  [/quote]

I'm a pp that worked in a grocery store in 1994-96.
You might prefer them heavy, but most customers don't.   At our store they actually trained us to bag  groceries a certain way (like all the cold stuff together, don't put scented things like soap in with the bread, etc.)  It was a 4 hour session.

Later on, when I was promoted to cashier, we had a FULL WEEK of training.  We had to memorize all the produce codes, trained how to properly process WIC and food stamps (they were both in actual paper form back then), how to process checks (back then, on a typical shift at least half my customers would write a check!)  and how to spot fake IDs for alcohol/tobacco sales.

We had to wear a uniform (that we had to purchase ourselves) and weren't allowed extreme nail polish colors (basically you could have clear or pink--no red and definitely no blue/black/purple), hair colors, piercings other than ear lobes, etc.[/quote]
