Her - why are you double bagging all of your groceries? Me - excuse me?
Her - you are wasting our bags!
Me - if you don't like the way I'm bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her - that's not my job!
Me - okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that's all right with you.
Her - why are you using two bags?!
Me - because the bags are weak and I don't want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her - well that's because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn't need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me - so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don't have to double bag.
Her - exactly.
Me - so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her - no because you wouldn't be double bagging.
Me - pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me - okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I'm still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it's not the same number of bags.
Me - looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.
Me- is this like that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?
Her- never mind you just don't get it. And with that she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skills.

Either she is trying to protect the bottom line of a company whose revenue is comparable to the 25th largest GDP of all countries or “she lazy”. She has to replace those bags when they run out. Having said that (assuming we are talking about the neighborhood market ) they work pretty hard and are constantly having to assist with hosed op scanners. They did run out of bags completely late last year so I snagged a couple umbrella bags and shoved the rest of it in my cargo shorts pockets. That felt really strange like I was stealing something even though I paid for it.

Wow. I almost wet myself!!! I work at a bank. We do disputes for debit cards. Must be related to your person from the market. You have to check boxes to indicate happened. Simple really...
But we get the box checked that says “I did not authorize the transaction”.....then they check the box that says “I didn’t get the merchandise I ordered”. Same theory

It’s a form of harassment. This store employee was very likely trained to single bag, and avoid double bagging. So she tried to enforce that with you. Shut down all double bagging! It’s almost fascist!

She’s getting paid to “monitor “ how people bag at self check out. And yes, she has to replace those bags as part of her job so that’s involved here. And Heaven forbid— that she might have to go somewhere else in the store to get more bags once they run out!! I get the feeling that she also resented you in some way. You know what happens when you give the “powerless” some “power”?

Finally, I give you credit for bagging $300 worth of groceries yourself. I would have gone to the regular check out lanes. And you stood up to her bullying, good for you!

I received this in an email and thought you would enjoy it......not make it into a philosophy lesson. Thank you for making it even more entertaining. The original DID use the name "Walmart" but I did not wish to disparage a business just because of a joke.
Life is hard enough as it is, without us making it harder. We feel blessed to be retired at an age where we can still enjoy it.

Self check out with $300 worth of groceries. I would jion the employee complaining. Self check out should be for people with way less items. Beyond that, the story is a farce.

Me - so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her - no because you wouldn't be double bagging.
Me - pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me - okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I'm still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it's not the same number of bags.
Me - looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.
Me- is this like that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?
Her- never mind you just don't get it. And with that she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skills.




















Yep, the future of our country right there!!!:pray::pray::pray::pray::pray:

[golfing eagles]

And we have our second and third winners!!! Nine more to go.

[chuggmeister]

Please tell me, this really didn't happen, it's a joke, right????
It might have happened but not to the poster. This story has been on the internet for a couple years now, quoted virtually verbatim. It actually says more about the poster than the low wage worker with the thankless job.
:throwtomatoes:

[davem4616]

I was waiting for the punchline....Smile, you're on Candid Camera

[DonnaNi4os]

Humorous as these might seem, I’m guessing she is doing what she has been told to do by the powers that be. I bring my own bags that are insulated and can carry heavy items and keep them cold. I’ve lived here 4 years and it was we had to do in NJ. But truly, thanks for the laugh, I can see it unfolding before my eyes 🤣

[Lindsyburnsy]

Whatever, she couldn't add, multiply, blah, blah and of course that means she must have loved the half time show? I loved the halftime show and I'm not a person of color, if that what was being hinted at. If my eyes can be believed, that halftime show was more representative of the players that everybody watched and no one mentioned their intelligence or that they get millions of dollars for their time on the clock.

[golfing eagles]

Looks like we have 2 more winners, 7 to go:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

[montagnard1969]

That was priceless!!!
I guess this person didn’t do well in math classes. They do not teach “common sense” and it is not very “common”.
I have given a cashier $11.37 for a $6.37 item. The blank look you get back is unbelievable. The next question is “What is the 0.37 cents for?
My answer: I expect $5 change.
If the register doesn’t give them an answer they are clueless. They cannot do simple math in their head. This is generally because they are not taught practical math, but this “new math” that is not practical. The other reason is because there isn’t much in their heads but social media and garbage text messages. Good luck.

[thevillages2013]

Wow, since this is in the "Just for Fun" section, I would have thought that you folks would have understood that it was a joke. I received this in an email and thought you would enjoy it......not make it into a philosophy lesson. Thank you for making it even more entertaining. The original DID use the name "Walmart" but I did not wish to disparage a business just because of a joke.
Life is hard enough as it is, without us making it harder. We feel blessed to be retired at an age where we can still enjoy it.
Have a great day!

Thanks for letting us off the hook !

[cj1040]

Couldnt stop laughing but I can actually believe this could happen with some of the people I have encountered here !!!




So I am at (you guess) scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour "monitors" and then this happened.
Her - why are you double bagging all of your groceries? Me - excuse me?
Her - you are wasting our bags!
Me - if you don't like the way I'm bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her - that's not my job!
Me - okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that's all right with you.
Her - why are you using two bags?!
Me - because the bags are weak and I don't want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her - well that's because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn't need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me - so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don't have to double bag.

It’s really sad to see how our wonderful country has digressed as we’ve continued to “lower the bar” to keep students who don’t want to learn from looking so stupid. Not to mention the fact that society has become accepting. Pitiful.

Probably?

[JMintzer]

YES....It is a joke. Told over the Internet since 2019 with absolutely NO PROOF this EVER happened. The OP must have finally heard it.
Making fun of low wage workers is why we have no servers here in TV.

Yes, that's the reason!

[JMintzer]

This is your 4th disclaimer
And yet at least a dozen posts will follow that take it seriously:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

That's because so many just have to get their $0.02 in as soon as possible...

Who mentioned the half time show? Did I miss a post?

[Topspinmo]

Self check out with $300 worth of groceries. I would jion the employee complaining. Self check out should be for people with way less items. Beyond that, the story is a farce.


About 6 or 7 bags full, no the would be 10 items or less line.

[Topspinmo]

Never used to use cc for almost all of our transactions before we moved here and covid came.

Remarkable to me how little cash we use these days. If I was a conspiracy theorist would agree they will now know exactly how we spend our money.


No conspiracy, it’s coming. Easy tracing, no under table deals, no cartel semi loads of of 100 dollar bills. No bank teller lines. Everything done electronically controlled, monitored, and accounted for. Even now when paying cash you get disgusted look 👀.

[nevjudbaker]

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
I loved reading this post. Have you ever paid for something that cost 1,5,10 or 20 dollars plus small change. You give them the larger bill & the correct change you they don’t have to count out the change just the dollar amount. They look at you like you are nuts. They give you back the change& count the money out that the computer tells them to return. It amazes me. I taught my kids to put the bill on the side so when you count the change back they don’t say I gave you a twenty when they gave you a ten. Plus count the amount back. This way you don’t short yourself.
Unheard of in todays world.

Well it is opinionated forum, with no opinions, no forum.

Her: thought she could treat you like her better half(he/me) and forgot she was at work.

Said like a true bachelor, or should I say forever single.

Opinions about post when you don't realize it's a joke?

Sure, why not...

And I never said not to post one's opinions. It would be nice, however, if said opinions were based on knowing what the thread was actually about,

Just my opinion, of course...

In California, the bags cost 10 cents each. Bag however you want.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

So first off - that didn't happen to YOU.
Second - it wasn't recent.
Third - it's only funny to people who get a kick out of the running joke that cashiers are stupid. To those of us who have been cashiers, the funny part is that some people actually believe this crap.

The earliest date I was able to find it, was on a forum called "Cougar Forum", on April 22, 2021. And that post insisted that it was a "true story from my cousin" - which he apparently read on Facebook, with no actual verification that it ever even happened.

What ? It didn't happen??? No way!

What tipped you off? The OP actually saying it was a joke, or the multiple posters, posting multiple times, that it was a joke?

And no one has said, nor insinuated that all cashiers are stupid. But there are certainly some stupid current (and former) cashiers...

And before you get your knickers in a twist, I worked retail when I was in HS and college. I used the old NCR registers. I used to have a little contest, in my head, to see if I could figure out the change before the register did it...

Duhhh, thank you! What gave you the clue that it didn't happen to me? The part where it is a thread in the "Just For Fun" area, or the four times that I said it was a joke?
Believe me, I am NOT PC so if one cannot laugh at themselves or take offense at a joke that might relate to their situation, then that's on them. My intention was NOT to offend anyone, but I certainly do not apologize for finding something someone else said, to be funny to me.

Tread lightly!!!!! Be careful of what you consider "a joke":1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: There are 2 obvious members who take exception to just about anything that isn't PC or "woke", and one is far worse than the other. Forum rules prohibit me from naming them, but just about everyone knows who they are. Also, they have about 3 or 4 acolytes---That's all, out of about 100,000 members, so you can see how popular their views are

[EdFNJ]

Please tell me, this really didn't happen, it's a joke, right???? LOL, Just a silly joke story. Like "dumb blonde jokes" or senior citizen jokes.. :1rotfl:
