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.😂😂 | Facebook
Probably?

Making fun of low wage workers is why we have no servers here in TV.
Yes, that's the reason!

I always thank the grocery bag person (odd, you can't write b@gger for some reason...)... Tip them, as well, if they help us with the bags back to the car...

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

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

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 👀.

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.

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...
