Is this where I confess I am an artist when it comes to bagging, and can out bag anyone on the west coast?

And she’s probably bagging things properly!

There’s this one dude and his lane is always empty and I always get in it by mistake when I’m in a hurry and when I see him I’ve already unloaded stuff so you can’t take it back… but he’s not only slow, he won’t key things in if they don’t scan, and he cannot bag and will not chat. People actively avoid him. LOL

Apparently, this is where I confess all my middle-aged white-lady first-world problems with the grocery store! :wink:

@japhroaig - good thing I’m in central time then, or else I’d have to challenge you to a bag off!

Is this where I confess that you are up for a contest, as my spouse and I have been bagging our own groceries every week for decades, and always get compliments from the cashiers at Trader Joe’s?

Is this where I confess that I lay out each item in the precise order it should be bagged when checking out, and get super annoyed when I’m given more than the necessary bags? (Now I have to fucking recycle these. Do you realize you just gave me a job I didn’t want?)

(Am I on the spectrum?)

Is there where I confess that I always know the exact right amount of bags to ask for? (Cuz we gotta pay for ours so they ask you at the beginning “how many bags?”) I always know, exactly, how many bags I need, always.

Bag off 2016!!

Is this where I confess that I shop online, because being in a supermarket for 5 mins makes me want to start stabbing people. Especially cashiers that want to talk.

Sometimes, but we need the plastic bags to line the greenbins in our kitchens for the compost collection done by the city. I’m not going to BUY bags to line the greenbin, thats crazy talk!

Do you mentally calculate the maximum torque or the perceived Van der Waal force needed to sever a bag and make it unstable!?

Oh shit… I’m a nerd.

Is this where I confess that when the option of the cashier is inevitable because sorority/frat kids in self-check, and the cashier lines are shorter, that I also put the items on the conveyor in the order by which I expect them to be bagged?

We have to buy the special compostable plastic bags as the stores only have large paper bag or non compostable plastic. I kinda miss the plastic bags as they were great for the kitty litter which has to be put in the garbage. Between being able to dump near everything in the recycle bin/food waste bin there is very little actual trash anymore.

We are specifically told NOT to use compostable bags “any plastic bag will do” - I imagine there is a screen/filtering going on, though in my mind its a giant claw for some reason…

Yeah, our green been is full (our raccoons are very fat) and our recycling is full, our actual garbage is almost never full.

I have a plastic grocery bag full of plastic grocery bags, for when I need them. I was surprised at how the older ones - only about three years old and just sitting in the bag - were already breaking down into flakes and powder.

Is this where I confess that while I have a spare bedroom here in Canada, I’ve been more and more careful to hide this fact from my American friends as their election progresses?

Is this where I confess that my cargo area looks like a hurricane hit it because of all the canvas and nylon bags thrown in there for any errand runs to the grocery store, etc.? Shall I confess that I too bring my own bags to checkout, put things on the conveyor belt in the order I wish them to be bagged, with the refrigerated stuff at the back with the refrigerated bag, and STILL have to keep an eagle-eye out every time for the baggers who put cans in the insulated bag and frozen stuff next to the bananas in the regular bags?
