He looks at me and starts putting my stuff in Target bags. No, I wanted them in these bags. He looks at me and sounds like Scooby Doo. I had to lift the bag and say: "This stuff in this bag". He finally got it and then it took him forever to bag them.

Haven't notice a big difference in gender better checkers and I hate shopping.<BR/>My favourite store has a hand held scanner and you scan as you select and there is no re- bagging. When you pay you scan to check out and pay by credit card. It is possible to go through the whole process of grocery shopping and not have to talk to anyone! Perfect. I also like the home delivery too. But I like to squeeze and contemplate the food I buy so usually end up going to the supermarket.<BR/>( I have been reading your blog via Stepping's blog for months now. I am hooked.

The bagger is key; I prefer to do it myself. That way if my bread is squished, it's my fault & I don't have to be mad at them all night. <BR/><BR/>Although now I take the easy way out & just have Genuardi's deliver my groceries to me. It really is the best thing ever! $8 bucks extra & I don't have to waste an hour dragging my kids throughout the store, loading up the car & then dragging the kids & the gorceries into my house by myself. Genuardi's does it all for me! Best idea yet in grocery shopping!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
