Book Board Chat

One of my biggest pet peeves is the way the groceries are bagged. I like my cold/frozen foods together and the dry things separate. I like my bread to still be in a loaf shape when I get home and don't want the frozen pizza melting all over the bag of sugar, or the hot soup from the deli bagged with the cold sushi. Even though I take them out of the cart and group them together on the belt, by the time it gets down to the sacker, they are putting bags of potatoes on top of the delicate tomatoes, fish in with the milk, cantalopes on top of the eggs, etc. I have to practically stand watch over them, and then don't have the opportunity to watch the price scanner to make sure I'm charged the correct amount for each item (there's always at least one item not priced according to the shelf price). It makes me crazy! Crazier still when I get home and see that something has been ruined or overcharged for, but it's too far to go back. I wonder if they are just lacking common sense or if they won't have a clue until they are out spending their own hard-earned money on groceries. I'm sure they hate to see me coming.
