Grocery Shopping

I had to get some quick groceries so I decided to go to a Shop Rite that is not far from here. I had never been there before so it's always a challenge navigating a new store. I managed just fine and got everything I needed. I went to the check out to find that, once again, I've chosen the slowest cashier in the world. Maybe he was new, or else just an idiot.
Anyway, I handed the guy my wonderful shopping bags and he looked a bit confused. I told him they were for the groceries. (They look just like any other re-useable grocery bag.) He didn't know where to put them. (Uh, at the end of the line? Just a suggestion....might make it easier to actually put the scanned groceries in them.)
He scanned through all of my items and then stood there looking lost for a minute. Then he started packing my groceries in the standard plastic bags. I reminded him that I brought bags so he switched over. In the mean time, I'm just standing there watching. I refused to pack. It is not my job. That is what he gets paid for. That is part of the reason my groceries cost so much, it helps to cover his hourly wages (as minimal as they may be). I know the ladies behind me were getting upset but I really don't care. This is my personal stand and I'm not backing down. Besides, if he had half a brain in his head he would realize how much more efficient it is to simply put the items in the bag as soon as they are scanned. Sure, that takes a bit of forethought in knowing the order in which things should be placed in a bag but it's truly not brain surgery. I've seen it done and it was quite successful.
Oh wait, I've only ever seen women cashiers do it. It totally makes sense now.
No offense guys. :)
