[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I shop at Giant and notice that some checkers just don’t bag. I step in and start bagging myself after all my food starts getting crushed at the end of the conveyor belt. If I’m paying full price for groceries I shouldn’t be bagging or give me a discount.

and I make sure I move as slowly as possible. [/quote]

I just noticed that my local Giant check out people don't bag anymore. I don't know if I've just happened to get a few check out people are aren't doing it, or if it's a policy. It's kind of annoying because the check out person just keeps sending stuff through and it's hard to keep up. When the check out person does the bagging, they can pause to bag so the area doesn't get all backed up.

My local Whole Foods used to always have baggers, but now it's hit or miss.[/quote]

I have a few minutes, so I checked current cashier job ads for Giant, Harris Teeter and Safeway. Plus the giant, and Harris Teeter are very clear that their cashiers are responsible for bagging, and Safeway has more of a store associate job description, but bagging is included in it. It is not store policy to have customers bag their own groceries.
