I saw a YT the other day on difference between England and USA. One thing the American mentioned was that in England they do not bag the groceries. You have to do that yourself.
Wonder if that will be coming here. Hope not.
I love the USA
Just in this thread we have people applauding the chance to use self-checkout. The stores reduce their headcount to the point where there are lines to check out, and people become appreciative of the chance to check themselves out and bag their own purchases. They have no criticism of the stores causing the lines in the first place.
Where I shop, it's a lot quicker than self-checkout. One person can scan the purchases as fast as I'm unloading my cart, while the second person bags them and loads them on the cart. They generally have the groceries all bagged up and ready to go by the time I'm done scanning my card to pay.
