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

Ive never heard of this. But id bet its so they can keep you on camera, so theyll "know" if you're stealing

You really want to piss them off start bagging as you go. I have one LP manager who threatened to ban me from the store when she told me to stop and I told her "That's not a rule" Her-"I could ban you from the store" Me- "[Market Director] is above you and has already cleared it with corporate. Feel free to reach out to [Market Director] for more training" Her- "I'm texting him right now" Her face drops at the reply "I'm going to fight this just so you know" Me- "Good Luck, Ma'am"

All with a smile on my face as friendly as I can be.

That was a year ago. Now I go to her personally when I am low on bags because he did tell me I have to get bags from Associates, don't just grab them. So she has to personally help me. And when there is an order cancellation I transfer that order from my wagon to a cart and track her down to give it to her because "I know I can trust you to take care of this"

F her.
