I did 7 years working on a checkout. I have done my time packing bags. Someone else can do it for me now.

Ive had it for over a month now (its getting a bit better )Plantar fascia - the pain tonight is f*n intense
Buy the stainless steel ones. Last forever.Speaking of pegs, I left my peg basket thing outside this last week and all the wooden ones have got mould growing on them. That shits me.
I do about half my shops at aldi so was used to packing my bags when Woolworths and coles started making us do it. I prefer iit as i unload my groceries in the order i want to pack them, and take more care than they do
What? You can't even pack your own bag? Get used to it, it's not hard and you could consider it teamwork making the line move faster. What are you doing the whole time someone else is packing your bags?
I find this whole supermarket/bag thing strange in Australia as Im used to having to bring my own bags and pack them myself. It's good for many reasons... Like I save on plastic waste, I put the eggs in a safe position, the checkout person can get more people through faster instead of people looking at their phones like a zombie.
I like you Scotland, but packing your own bag is a problem that shits you...(?)
1st world problems I guess
Checkout etiquette. Could be a new board, let alone stickies thread.
How about those divider things? Correct usage? Do I put one in place after my groceries? Or does the person arriving next put it there?
And if I go to Foodland they are still getting the staff to pack bags. Haven't yet heard of any of them catching COVID-19.Its a dumb problem as there is no need for it to occur. They are as likely to get covid-19 touching supermarket items others have touched than someones bags. Also, it doesnt make it faster people packing their own bags - most people are dimwits and take forever.
It's fine at Aldi, where they're set up for it. But at Woolies and Coles it's not the norm so there's no ******* room for your groceries. They also don't wait for you to fully unload your trolley. They expect you to unload and pack your bags at the same time.What? You can't even pack your own bag? Get used to it, it's not hard and you could consider it teamwork making the line move faster.

Thanks to all the wise heads. I genuinely appreciate the guidance!You put it in place after your groceries.
1 or 2 unless you're a dickhead.Thanks to all the wise heads. I genuinely appreciate the guidance!
What if the person in front of me hasn't done this though?
1. Break isolation and lean past the person and place it myself? (Have done this, though pre-isolation)
2. Just wait until there is an obvious enough gap? (Have done this - seems most obvious)
3. Grimace/sigh in a manner indicating what must obviously occur? (Have NOT done this #Don'tActWeirdAtTheCheckout)
4. Look at the checkout person intently so they understand they should do it? (Have NOT done this #Don'tActWeirdAtTheCheckout)
5. Upfront, say " Can you please place the divider correctly as directed by my venerable Bigfooty mentors" and refer them to this thread? (Have NOT done this #Don'tActWeirdAtTheCheckout)
