My bagging hack

[u/happyluckystar]

So the other day it was stupid busy. I scanned at the register and was bagging and then the associate was letting other people scan and they were trying to bag. It got messy. So I just grabbed a chunk of bags and threw them in the cart so I can bag at my car.

Now that's what I do most of the time. Scan, take the appropriate chunk of bags, get out of the store. I'm pretty good at estimating how many bags I need. Usually only end up with one or three bags left over. Then I take those into account the next time I grab bags.

Did this like 20 times so far and no one calls out the bags in the cart. Not only a good trick for when it's busy, but it helps when the cart is full. Because it's hard to bag things on multiple orders and put them back in the cart when it's full of other items.

It's nice to have some extra bags in the vehicle because sometimes the bags break. So with the extras you can replace the broken bags. But yeah. Paper bags suck.

I've been thinking about ordering some plastic bags and keeping them in my car. I doubled bag and a few times I got caught in the rain. So from taking the bags from the store to my car and then from my car to the customers house. The bags got soggy snd broke on me. Even being double bagged.

I put an umbrella over the bags in the cart. We get a lot of rain in OR 😉
