Uh, why are you shopping at a store that sacks your groceries for you? If you were really concerned about saving, you’d go where you sack your own groceries.
I hate the way they have it set up-it’s hard to reach the groceries when they come off the conveyor belt after being rung up-the shelf and card machine are in the way. I’m still unloading groceries and they’re being bagged up before I’m done. I can’t be at both ends at the same time, unloading groceries and loading them up simultaneously! I’ve learned to give them the bags beforehand and even though I’ve gotten some looks, they do it now. A lot of people have asked where I’ve gotten the bags as they think it’s a good idea.
Living in a rural area doesn’t give a lot of choices for grocery shopping. I used to go to a place that charged for bags and if you didn’t want them, you could use cut-down boxes to load ‘em in. But that place closed down.
