Unfiltered Story #190958

(I’m a cashier at a New England grocery store chain. We still have paper bags if customers prefer them over plastic, but hate using them because they take a long time to open and pack.)

Customer (approaching my lane with a cart OVERFLOWING with groceries): Hello.

Me: Hi, how are you today?

Customer: Fine, I need my groceries to be double paper bagged.

Me: Okay, just the cold things doubled?

Customer: No, ALL of the groceries.

Bagger (With shocked expression): Okay….we can do that…

(Luckily, the bagger ended up getting a shift leader to help her open bags. Double paper bagging takes such a long time, especially for so many groceries. Even with two baggers her order took FOREVER. She ended up having $470 worth of groceries!)
