She says if you’re bagging stuff at the checkout, you’re holding up the people behind you
When Teresa and I go shopping in Lidl or Aldi, I want to pack the groceries the normal way. When we take our trolley up to checkout, I put everything on a conveyor belt. Right after the cashier scans the item, I put it into a shopping bag, and once that bag is full, I’ll put it in a trolley. Our packing is done right there, quickly and in good time.
But Teresa prefers to put all the items directly in the trolley after they’ve been scanned, and then go to the shelves at the back of the shop to pack our shopping into bags. She says it’s the correct way because apparently that’s what the shelves are for – to avoid congestion at the till – and that if you bag stuff at the checkout you’re holding people up. I think it’s fine.
