Giant has baggers, but they're usually developmentally disabled and just slow down the process.

Also directly impacted by how much delivery/online businesses stores are doing (Fresh direct, peapod, etc), and whether people are going in for smaller things or major shopping.

It's directly impacted by differences in minimum wage and union laws from location to location... that job is usually non-necessary so it's the first to be cut (you still need stockers, etc.)

Moms baggers bring it out to your car.

If you don't want to bag, you don't have to. The cashier will bag if there are no baggers.


Which one? Giant in Cathedral Commons?

Wow, thanks of the advice. I'm actually not lazy. I just wanted to know why there aren't ubiquitous grocery baggers here like there are in other parts of the country.

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

Wegmans will sometimes have them on weekends when it's really busy.

We just moved here from Southern California where the grocery stores have baggers at every check-out line except if you go at a really slow time of the day, and then maybe the cashier will do the bagging. Here, I have yet to see a bagger, even during the height of the after-work rush. Since the cashiers are always doing double-duty, the lines here are always long and slow-moving. Has that always been the case in this region? I just find it so weird. In CA, it's one of the main jobs for high school students.
