I'm sure there are some good ones out there, but by and large they could care less about the way they bag their groceries.<BR/><BR/>I do try to sort things on the belt the way I want them to be bagged. I know how much goes in a bag from personal experience, and that's how I want it done! It's going to take a bit of a mental shift now that I'm mainly using reusable bags.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my site for SITS and leaving all the comments!Ronnicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545460026004087995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391900238426198921.post-72556856446735303552008-09-29T09:30:00.000-04:002008-09-29T09:30:00.000-04:00Your post certainly made me laugh as I can totally...Your post certainly made me laugh as I can totally relate! But what you describe at the check-out is certainly not OCD for me, it's called "common sense"!!!! ;-)<BR/>In France noboby bags your groceries and I like it just like that because I can then bag the way I want!! I have my way of putting things on the conveyor belt too, I suspect (hope?) everyone does! I start with heavy stuff like bottles because it makes sense to me to have them at the bottom of the shopping cart (and not over my eggs!). I always group cold (refrigerated) items together and of course also frozen stuff together (that I pack in several knotted bags so they stay cooler and I spot them right away when I unload!). And I usually finish with the produce so that they can weigh everything at the same time and it isn't squashed at the bottom of the bags...<BR/>It does irk me big time when the bagger just throw everything together at random !! :-(<BR/>I hope you are reassured that you're not the only one like that, LOL! ;-)<BR/><BR/>And since I'm here today, just wanted to wish you L'SHANAH TOVAH! :-)Bee's Zen Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938270931565816640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391900238426198921.post-31747935563027750492008-09-29T08:56:00.000-04:002008-09-29T08:56:00.000-04:00It is so nice to know that I am not the only one! ...It is so nice to know that I am not the only one!

I have been known to walk away from the checkout, sit on the bench along the wall and unpack all of the groceries onto the floor and then repack them *properly*. I was waaaayy excited a few weeks back when I found a checkout operator at my grocery store who packed properly and didn't put the bread on the bottom of the bag....seriously, what is wrong with those people?????Kristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454082251539860339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391900238426198921.post-15980598202781714422008-09-27T19:56:00.000-04:002008-09-27T19:56:00.000-04:00OMG you found 'Wouldnt It Be Good'???

I've never really thought about it because I don't get too worked up if things don't go my way.<BR/>I do unload my cart a certain way and the folding thing gets to me. I have a thing about towels.<BR/>I also like all of the cans, boxes,etc around the house to be facing front so you can read the labels. <BR/>Maybe I do need medication after all.<BR/>BTW, were you at L*w*s? They are really good there.duchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15882116637627538672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391900238426198921.post-83785579115658894862008-09-27T17:03:00.000-04:002008-09-27T17:03:00.000-04:00OMG - i can SO relate to today's blog! i thought i...OMG - i can SO relate to today's blog! i thought i was th eonly one that got worked up about baggers. why do they have to throw stuff into my nice four-sided stand-up bag? do they not understand if they put the boxes in 'squared' that they'll fit more? i find myself leaving the grocer often refusing assistance to my car because i'm so mad at the bagger i might trip them out in the lot! okay, i wouldn't ACTUALLY do that, but on the inside i'd smile if they tripped a little! thanks for making me welcome :)Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17595003436919564733noreply@blogger.com
