Groceries

You know how you are encouraged to have re-usable bags for shopping....................... well I have lots .............. unless Bill takes them. Then they go into his truck which is a no return zone. So this morning I get up .......... get dressed............make the coffee ................ grab my purse and go to the Safeway five minutes away. I get everything on the list as well as a couple extra things (as usual) ............. now I did remember to bring my bags into the store with me ...........usually I forget them. Anyway a man is checking out the groceries for me and a woman is packing them in the bags I give them. This is how she did it. .............. ice cream.popsicles, cheese, creamer, and cheese in a large bag, bread all in one large bag, milk and nachos-no bag, 5 glass jars in the floppist bag and in the INSULATED bag she put ................ SIT DOWN PLEASE ...................................... two boxes of cereal ................... yes you read that right . She put the cereal in the insulated bag. I think I might suggest to the manager that he train his people how to pack groceries as COMMON SENSE ( which isn't very common) does not seem to play a part in this process.

  1. Yup - they pay minimum wage these days & there's really no training except on the cash register. I group my purchases & tell them HOW to pack the bags. I've had too many cans on top of the bananas . . .

  2. I have learned that there is no such thing as common sense any more! I have also learned over time that they don't teach how to bag groceries either! I am so with you on this one!
