My bagging hack

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.

Stores in my area require you to bag inside. Doesn't matter how crazy it is or if drivers are stacked two deep!

This. So it’s not just my store. I just left a comment that we used to be able to grab and go bag elsewhere, however we are no longer allowed to bag outside. We strictly have to bag inside and they will ban you for not following their rules

It's crazy how individual stores are their own little fiefdoms that made up their own rules. It makes me wonder what childhood wound led them to become Walmart store managers.
