[Kitsa]

Usually I try to bag my own stuff because I'm so damn particular (you know, not wanting ant poison in with my bread, not wanting lightbulbs in with food), but sometimes the bagger is too quick for me. In stores where the baggers are working for tips, bagging your own stuff never happens...they'd sooner grab the groceries out of your hands and do it rather than give up that dollar.

In this case, the cashier had one of those turnaround bag stations and was just throwing stuff in as it came up on the belt. I'd put the household cleaners and lightbulbs well away from the groceries as a hint, but she didn't give a rat's ass and just packaged the first of the household stuff with the last of the food.
