The Lost Art of bagging groceries...

When I worked at EconoFoods in Sioux City Iowa, they always showed us a video on how to bag groceries. There is an art to it, and I am wondering if that art has been lost. I was so good at bagging groceries that I actually had regular customers who would ask what my work schedule was for the upcoming week, and then come in to shop during those times. They would stand in my checkout line no matter how long it was and wait for me. I was that good!!

I really do believe that bagging groceries should be common sense, but apparently it is not. Therefore, I have listed my technique/preference that I would LOVE to pass onto the baggers of today:

1) Build up the side walls of the plastic or paper bag with boxes.
2) Then put canned goods between the boxes
3) Then place your filler items on top of the canned goods (flour, sugar, etc.)
4) Any crushable items should always go on the very top or preferably in their own separate bag.

That's the basic technique to bagging in a nutshell!! Sounds simple right?
I must admit that it is a pet peeve of mine when people do not bag logically. I even make it really easy for them and put all the cold items together, all the fruits/veggies together, all the meat together, etc. But they still choose to grab things out of my order and put them in the bag together! Things that don't even make sense....like contact solution with bananas?! Why??? I'm always tempted to ask them, but then I chicken out because I'm too nice :(

Am I the only one that gets bothered by this??? Is it just the stores that I shop at or is this behavior happening everywhere?? These are the million dollar questions of the evening....
