Oh Bubbles, you will be my bestest cart boy ever.

One of the supermarket chains here in the South (is Florida really part of the South????oh well that's another subject), that bags you groceries and takes them to the card and tells you not to tip! Problem is...all of the baggers seem to be older retired men my father's age (if he were alive), I was raised to help people their age, so I find myself turning down the service because it is soooo darn hot out most of the time, or it's raining and I feel guilty! Go figure! If they insist because they have to go out and get the carts anyway and I tip them, I don't feel so bad, but if they are caught taking the tips they get in trouble.

The other chain around the corner, I don't use, because they put meat in with papertowels, cold/wet/frozen items in with dry.....and can't understand why I'm upset (I mean really just because I put everything on the belt together by item type i.e. meat/meat, dairy/dairy, dry/dry, cleaning/cleaning, etc) because they mix everything up!

Thanks for the vent.....and thanks for starting this wonderfully light topic RichieRich! Luv Ya!

When I visit my dad in America I hate it when they bag your food up -

Here I was just going to complain about how, all of a sudden at Walmart, they stand there and expect you to put your own bags in your basket. This just started like a yearor so ago. But oops, now guess, nevermind. We must really be spoiled here.

FUNNY! Richie, excellent post.

Oh yeah... they the bags on the maggical turning bag stand... And then they go on immediately to the next person, and you want to spin the thing around to make sure you've got everything but you can't!!! Damn WalMart.

Oh yeah- this little numbnuts put PORK RIBS in a bag with clorox. Not only contaminating the ribs, but also squeezing them!

FUNNY! Richie, excellent post.

You can thank my mom for asking me to go grocery shopping this morning at 4 different stores.

Man, I feel like a woman!

(she will think im tight if I dont... but ... theres a poster saying its policy not to tip...but...it really is tight to fall back on the old 'poster' excuse...but...I didnt want her to pack my frickin bag anyway...but...she looks like she could do with the buck ... ...GODHELPMEIDONTKNOWWHATTODO!)

LOL.....

Pretty much how I feel....especially...I didnt want her to pack my frickin bag anyway.

If I tell them I can handle taking the stuff to the car they ask..."are you sure". You almost have to fight them off at times.

Do you think making fun of "retarded" people is funny? I would think Hillary_Step would not find this amusing if he were able to comprehend this post.

Great thread RitchieRich.

Should have added a number 6 to your list.

6. All carts should be fully functional. Steering properly and no wobbley/noisey wheels.

As far as bagging at the grocery stores here in Western Canada, there never seems to be a shortage of bags (all plastic, no paper). Heck, they'll put all items in separate bags, or even double bag here. No fear of having cleaning items in with your produce here. You just end up with a huge pile of bags. Good for lining your garbage can with.

One grocery store in particular here, you can bring your own bags and bag your own, or pay for bags, which are 4 cents a piece, but you still have to bag your own. Heck, this same store even has a self serve checkout. You scan your own groceries, only if you are paying with debit. No cashier required.

Netty - its because im anally british I cant handle it, not because of any moral high ground!! Its just confuses the hell out of me.

Carol - is it Publix? My dad lives in Miami and when I visit thats the one that causes my transatlantic cognitive dissonance. Also when I crack a joke with the trolly wally he looks at me with huge confused cow eyes like I have said something really meaningful but incomprehensible. But that could be because I dont speak spanish and they dont speak english. Or just because I am not funny. Hmmmmm
