If i never wanted to wait in line when things were busy, id be walking around the counter and bagging my own meal at McDonalds. I will more often than not wait and let them bag my groceries. Take your time. You are one in a million who believe this then. I was pretty damn quick but I would always hear customers complain to the CSMs about how slow some of the lines were moving, how they didn't come into wal-mart to have to wait an hour to check out.. blah blah blah. That's the majority, most people do not have that sort of patience.

Who gives a shit if people complain about taking too long? Since when is there a wait time guarantee? If there are a lot of people waiting to get checked out well then they are just out of luck. As long as the cashier is doing something (bagging or ringing) and not just standing there twiddling their fingers what's the problem? If they complain about you being too slow, just explain that it was the dumbass customer before them that was the hold up, not you. I hate when customers try to rush me (even though I'm not a cashier). We get monitored by our wait times, and I'm sure I've gotten a lot of complaints about being too slow in the past. Even though I do try to get people in and out as efficiently as possible, I honestly don't care that much if I don't make my deadline as long as I don't end up making a mistake and killing someone.

I have used curbside pick up though a couple times but it was when my groceries, after being bagged, used up two carts. I pulled the car around and got it loaded. Both times involved a situation where I bought enough groceries for a party of 100 or people. I needed help. Wegmans doesn't let us tip the guys/girls who do it though.

As far as letting them wheel your stuff out...I never do, but in an only remotely related story I had a Lowe's employee chase me down in the parking lot and fuss at me for not waiting for him come out and load my 10 bags of mulch into my car. I was all dude, who do you think loaded them onto the cart, and who do you think is unloading them out of the car when I get home?

It's horrible when it's a full cart order because the carousel is usually overfull before their cart is empty. Now, the people who won't load the bags is what I complain about. I have to stop what I'm doing, suspend the order so I don't get knocked on my scanning time, go around to load the cart, then back to the register to scan the receipt back in. You can just hit "weight" and that freezes your time. It's like signing off but really just putting it to rest until you can finish up. And I never put bags in carts unless they were older people. I used to get a lot of folks who would see dozens of bags overloaded on my carousel and would just stand there expecting me to do it. So i'd hit weight, and ask them politely to please put their bags in the cart. I was a cashier and all, and yeah, I worked in customer service and still do but a lot of customers when I was a cashier seriously would probably expect you to lick their shoes to clean them, or some shit. I used to get a lot of people while I was ringing them out ask me if I could run back and get them some milk all the way across the store when I had other people waiting to be checked out. lazy bitches. Actually, no I can't. Our time starts from when the first item is scanned until the receipt finishes printing or the drawer closes, whichever is last. And if I was to ask a customer to load their cart, they would turn right around and complain to a manager that I wasn't doing my job.

I've been asked to leave heavy items (i.e. cases of beer, turkeys, etc.) in the cart and not up on the belt, but I still can't remember a time when I could even get to the loaded bags let alone put them in my own cart.

Local chain. Their checkout stands are laid out like this: conveyor belt (6-8 feet long), scanning area (about a 1 foot wide x 1.5 feet deep; can't reach because it's behind a shelf where you write checks or use the pin pad to slide your card), bagging area (same as scanning area), big flat empty space where the loaded bags are pushed into and I can reach (approx 3 feet square).

That said, when I go grocery shopping, I try really hard to be as patient as possible, cuz all that getting riled up about standing there waiting will do is raise your blood pressure. The line doesn't move faster because you're in a rush. That said, I've never been a fan of bagging my own groceries, but I shop at Genuardi's where the cashier's have a bagging area right behind them, and then at the end of the counter there's either a bag boy or me. If I have a shitload of items, I'll jump down to the end to try and speed up the process, but if it's just a few items, I'll let the cashier do it cuz she's got easiest and quickest access and she won't let it slide all the way down the counter. As for bag boys/girls, there's a constant offer when I'm picking up kitty litter or cases of water for help out to the car and I've never taken it. As Pliant said, who got the items into the cart and who is gonna be hauling them into my house? Me. So thanks for the offer, but I'll enjoy my mini arm "workout" and proceed with my day.

They monitor our wait times and the goal is 15 minutes. On the worst days for me the wait is an hour and a half. It happened to me once when I had a person call in sick and it was a busy store. People bitched, but whatever. They can bitch about waiting a long time however much they want. I'd rather have that than someone bitching that I gave them the wrong thing.

Also, a bit off topic but the thing i hate the most is when younger strong looking men put extremely heavy things like big TVs, furniture, etc. on the belt after I ask them to leave it in their basket and then they refuse to help lift them while I struggle. I'm little and I think its pretty obvious that it would be hard for me to lift those items. I've had complaints filed on me for asking customers to help me lift things that they put on the belt.

Posts: 5430 (05/09/2009 9:30 PM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Friend Block Invite Ignore	I completely agree with the OP and others who think it's lazy/shitty to wait for someone else to bag your groceries when the store is CLEARLY busy and you could feasibly do it yourself. I also hate the following in grocery shopping experiences: -People who take a shopping cart when the store is busy and they only are buying, like, 5 items. Take a damn handbasket and leave the carts for those who have a lot of stuff! -People who leave said shopping carts at the line when finished unloading the contents onto the belt. Fucking push the cart out of the way so that the person behind you doesn't have to do it for you. Lazyass. -People who open and eat food they haven't paid for while shopping. Tacky as all hell to begin with, not to mention, you're stealing. You haven't paid for the item, it still belongs to the store, so why are you opening/eating it as if it's yours? -People who let their bratty kids run up and down the aisles. Not a daycare center, okay?

Um.. my mom used to open goldfish or crackers or something like that when I was a little kid and let me eat them while we were shopping. On a rare occasion I'll get a bottle of water when I first walk in and drink it while I'm shopping. Who cares?

When lazy middle aged bitches with NO health issues take the baggers up on their "would you like me to help you to your car" service and then they immediately get into the car and sit comfortably in the air conditioning AS the baggers are loading up the trunk. That's so ridiculous I can't even stand it. The car thing should only be extended to the elderly!

Fucking push the cart out of the way so that the person behind you doesn't have to do it for you. Lazyass. This pisses me off to no end. A few weeks ago I was in Walgreens and the front of the store is VERY small. It got very busy and there was only one cashier and the 3 seperate dumb fucking people ALL left their carts right there where they were when they were done checking out. All 3 of these carts were literally blocking the fucking exit completely. I don't know how anyone can be so rude and ignorant. The clerk was very busy at the time, there were at least 5 other people in line behind me, so she couldn't really come out and fix it, so I nested all of the carts together and pushed them under the thing they belonged in, out of the way. People are IDIOTS. -People who open and eat food they haven't paid for while shopping. Tacky as all hell to begin with, not to mention, you're stealing.

I don't really agree with this, as long as you pay for what you ate, I see no problem with snacking as you shop. JJB likes to call everything tacky.
