Some stuff.
A few PSAs, from your friendly neighborhood cashier.
On bagging:
1) If you want things bagged a certain way:
That's fine! Just let me know ahead of time. You do not, however, have to tell me that you want all your cold stuff together or you want your non-food items together. I'm not a moron. I'm going to do that anyway, promise.
2) If you have a bunch of cloth bags:
Here's a tip to save some time: organize your groceries. Put your cans together, your boxes, your light/breakable stuff, like chips, eggs, bread, etc. It goes a lot faster if I don't have to root around your pile of stuff on the belt in order to find things to put in your bags. A lot fits in those suckers; they need to be organized.
(This actually also applies if you just want regular plastic bags. It will go faster there, too, but those don't have to be organized quite so carefully.)
3) If you want paper bags:
Look at your life. Look at your choices.
If you want to come through my line and be a racist asshole:
Kindly fuck off.
If you want to yell at a little old lady because she happens to have maybe 4 or 5 items over the express-lane limit:
CALM. THE. FUCK. DOWN. She even let you go ahead of her! Jesus.
Note to friends: I will be mailing presents next week, on the 20th. I would have liked to do so sooner, but in someone's infinite wisdom, I got scheduled NINE DAYS IN A ROW. The 20th is my next day off. So your stuff may be a few days late; that's why.
I think that's all for now.
