The World of Competitive Grocery Bagging

As featured on King of the Hill and Curious George. Now you too can be a part of a cartoon plot device!

"People who bag groceries for a living have to work quickly and efficiently without breaking anything."

That must be a regional requirement - certainly doesn't apply to where we live.

I'm pretty sure CityMarket requires all of their checkers/baggers to be obnoxiously slow and spatially challenged. Bonus points if they're unable to tell expensive and/or fragile items from common rocks.

I coulda been a contenda!

I also remember this in one of the simpson plot

"People who bag groceries for a living have to work quickly and efficiently without breaking anything."

That's pretty good set of requirements for almost any job. Except maybe omelette maker.

It does remind me of when I and my fellow overqualified Pizza Hut workers held pizza box folding competitions. Yeah, it was fierce!

Around here, the stores are "encouraging" you to bag your own, by not helping until everything is rung up. So, either a lost art, or every customer gets to be a pro.

Executive Producer, "Ready, Set, Bag"!

After watching a bagger try to cram a loaf of bread into the same bag as a gallon of milk and a 2-liter bottle of Coke, I'd prefer to bag my own groceries.
