What gets me grumbling in line is the able-bodied shopper who stands there while his/her groceries are being bagged for him. Last night, dude in front of me with a lot of items purchased three reusable bags. Cashier scanned the bags early in the process. Instead of bagging his own stuff, he stood there and watched her do it for him. I wanted to say out loud "How do you not realize that not only will bagging your groceries speed things up for others but yourself as well?" I have known the cashier for years. I said something when it was my turn. She laughed and basically said IKR.
At military commissaries there are baggers who work for tips and a bank line, so you don't usually get to pick your lane. When I can pick, I go for the best bagger.
