Okay, lets say, hypothetically you're sacking groceries, and someone buys: Four 2 liters of coke, and 2 bags of chips.

Now when sacking aforementioned groceries do you:
A. Put the two cokes in a paper bag, and then put a bag of chips on top of them, and repeat?
B. Put all the cokes in one bag, and all the chips in one bag, so you have a bag that weighs 40 fucking pounds, and a bag that weighs no fucking pounds?

If you answered B, congratulations, you are qualified to be a sacker at Crest discount foods! You should also get an attitude when I tell you how to do your job right, and then expect me to tip you!

If you were actually going to guess, C. Put the chips on bottom, and the cokes on top, all in one bag, congrats, you're management material.

Seriously, common sense has to kick in at some point.

    I already did that job twice.

    I got hit on by a 6'2" black transsexual who flashed me in front of the entire store, I was accidentally maced by a security guard who didn't know that mace is not air freshener and doesn't need to be sprayed to cover the maximum area when subduing one person, and I had an insane black woman in all white walk up to me in line once and say, "Oh, thank god. Another white person. I hate all these Ni**ers and Sp**cks, don't you? That's why I joined the Klan."

    Four liters of coke...that's roughly a gallon...that should be like 8-10 pounds, I think.

    Lift weights or something, geez.

    You are indeed correct. My mom weighs 110 pounds.

    You're just a weak little pussy that couldn't lift a bag with some cokes in it and then came home to cry about it on the forums.

    I would put 2 2 liters in one bag, double bag it

    repeat with other 2 liters

    put chips in seperate bag

    that way the weight differential would be more even between the hands

    It's actually more of a bagging issue, we have those stupid ass cheap paper bags, that can barely hold a gallon of milk, much less 100 pounds of coke.

    Actually, B is the correct answer.

    You shouldn't put heavy things in the same bag with crushable things (such as eggs, or bread, or potato chips) because if things get rustled around in the grocery bag, the light/soft stuff could become crushed.

    Also, you should never put edible groceries in with non-edible groceries.

    EDIT: Oh, wait. Actually, put the sodas in two seperate bags. But still keep the chips seperate.

    Back when I worked at a grocery store, me and my friend were about the best combo you could get on a checkout lane. You would get checked out supremely fast, everything bagged well, and be on you way. I swear one day, things were barely touching the lane between us.

    Oh, and option D

    Two 2 liters in a plastic bag, laying down, head to foot. One bag of chips on top. Repeat.

    The pop will stay at the bottom of the bag, and the chips are safe.

    uh its not a bad idea to keep similar products together

    when i do grocery shopping i give everything to the cashier in groups, so that when it is all put into bags i should have drinks in bag, fruit/vegetables in another, toiletries in another still, and so on so that when i get home i can stand in one place and throw each bag at the kitchen/pantry/bathroom or wherever else

    also that is a lot of coke and nothing else but chips
    lift some weights you fatty weakling

    I once got hit on by a 50-something woman while I was on register. She even slipped me her phone number.


    I considered it for about ten minutes.

    I mean, shit. It had to be better than staying there for the evening.

    But instead, I went back to work. I figured I didn't need that much prune in my diet.

    I loved my time as a bagboy

    the manager loved me

    and was called Bill McNeil so he was a goddamn awesome dude


    got yelled at once for not "bagging correctly" this lady wanted her eggs on the bottom

    I shit you not.

    It is my belief she wanted some to get crushed so she could come back and complain and get a whole new carton for free etc etc


    she starts yelling at me. I do not believe in "customer is always right". I tell her I'm not changing it. She wants to see the manager.

    He comes down and he sees through her idiocy and tells her he's "siding with the bagboy on this one"

    she goes nuts

    cops are called

    she's hauled away

    we laugh and I get a 4 hours paid break for my troubles, also 10 bucks to grab Bill a Whopper and keep the change

    Oh man, the greatest day of my grocery career was when I got the keys to the hi-lo. There was no problem we could not fix with 7000 pounds of electrical powered fury.

    That, the the wondrous time before corporate started locking the trash compactor.

    We called it Igor.

    It ate shopping carts whole.

    -t Javen: I remember one Saturday I was working a register. It was me and 5 other girls. All hot. I was on the end lane, so I got to look down the length of the store and see all of their butts. For 6 hours. That was a great day.
