>the bag boy
this is perhpas the single thing about America that baffles me the most.
having
an actualy seperate employee
just there
to bag you stuff
it is such and unnecesarry thing to have and i never understood it, like in shawshank redemption is was super confused what the fuck he was doing and i thought he had dementia or some shit.

is it still around today or was it something old supermarkets used to do?
genuinely curious, and now that a think about it, with American culture, do, do you tip cashiers? or the bag boy?

>>11247521
Bag boys are also cart haulers and stock boys i beleive they only bag when its super busy. usally they are the mentally handicaped.

>>11247535
>cart haulers
okay, okay, what,
what is this? dont you put the cart back yourself to get your coin/token?

>>11247550
No we dont have a cart tax thing most people take them back to the cart stations in thr parkinglot with out a needed insentive the cart hauler takes them from their and back to the front of the grocerystore.

>>11247521
lot better than where I live, we don't have bag boys but there's a down syndrome kid who always asks people for money and sometimes he goes into the stores and bags your groceries for tips, I never say no to him because he's scary and I don't want to deal with his tard rage if I don't give him money,

>>11247550
>what is this? dont you put the cart back yourself to get your coin/token?
Nope. The carts aren't locked together. You don't need a coin or token, you just take one.

when you're done you put the cart back in a return area, which is usually just a special parking spot in the parking lot. Store employees come get the carts and take them back to the front of the store.

>>11247575
Wow, check out the hotty in the purple dress. I'd like to return my cart to her return bay, if you know what I mean.

>>11247550
>get your coin/token?
I think the only a few places (in Urban areas and where poor people shop) have these coin cart things. I've actually never seen one. Also, when you leave the grocery store people take their carts out into the parking lot to unload their groceries into their car. There are these little stalls that take up the place of a parking spot where you dump your cart. The cart returner gathers them all up in a giant train of carts and wheels them back to the front of the store from the parkinglot.

As for a bag boy, it's kind of a 'floater' job. Usually people bag their own groceries, or if you only have a few things the cashier will have a little bag thing right next to them and bag them after scanning. But I guess if it's a slow day there will be someone at the end of the conveyor belt bagging them for you. I'd say when I go to the store it's about 50/50 that I'll bag my own, or there's a guy at the end bagging my shit. A lot of stores are going towards a self checkout thing.

>>11247550
So you guys have to carry coins with you when ever you go to the grocery store?

>>11247550
depends on the neighborhood, some stores in the US have a deposit/lock system for carts. Most of the time a junkie or homeless person will offer to return it for you so they can have your dollar or whatever.

>>11247584
that dress is pink, just like her sweet vagoo

>>11247575
Aldi is the only chain that does the chain and coin thing in the US and that's because it's German owned probably. I don't know why more stores don't adopt it it seems to work well enough and must save the stores money in not having to have cart haulers and fewer carts stolen by the homeless.

>>11247598
Self check out are only for conveince i hate when i see some one with like 50 itema half of them self baged veggies doing the self check out bruh its gonna take you like 30 mins to do it just go to the check out lanes

How the fuck did mods sticky an individual post

>>11247976
It's just that good of a post.
Notice how the post stays in the same place in the thread now.

>>11246853
that chick's hot, I wanna bag her melons, if you know what I mean

>>11248014
Her name is Leslie Jones just in case you're interested. Just look up "Leslie Jones melons" for more stock photos of her holding them.

>>11247521
It's only a thing for more upscale places where service is a priority, lines go faster and you can send them to fetch things. And carts because Americans are too lazy and entitled to put their carts back
t. former bag boy

>>11246853
A few years ago i was away in college and had a bout of depression. I went into this supermarket and bought $40 of junk food when the cashier says "smart shopper" right then I should have made a scene and threw the groceries in her face and walked out. Idk who these wagecucks think they are. I find its only supermarket workers that do this sort of shit. Ever since then I try to only go to supermarkets that have self checkouts because i'm too traumatised that the cashier is going to judge me on what i'm going to buy. It's totally ridiculous.

>>11248142
>the want to buy lube and urine removal cleaner from the grocery store but always chicken out when I near the chashier

mfw randy stair barges in and starts shooting up the place

>>11248142
>in college and had a bout of depression
Here's some news, it gets far worse when you graduate and crawl out into the real world. Recommend you buy a handgun now before there's a record of your mental illness and you can't even obtain a convenient mechanism to cure it.

>>11248181
i'm in a different college now and i'm fine

>>11248142
>>11246853
thin skinned anons mad they got owned by the cashiers for buying garbage lmao just buy better things bruh

>>11248142
i don't really buy junk food at all, but what a fucking cunt. seriously.

>>11246853
>these minimum wage service workers arent giving a fuck about their job enough to treat me special like I deserve!

That whole post reads like cheap bait on a Laotian soap carving fansite, but I will respond to the substance of it. they were flirting and probably ended up fucking that night and you werent included, boohoo.

>bullied by a retard
What’s lower than beta?

>>11247614
Because a fucking quarter isnt insentive enough for a red blooded murrican to bother putting it back. It would make no difference, we arent jews like the kike nazi cunts over in bong land. Poor dumb euro fucks.

>>11247521
It's just a menial task to do when there aren't carts to push or toilets to scrub.

>>11248241
not a wagie since 2004 but ive been there. they are given shit pay to deal with shit work, with no obligation to serve you if not for losing their job, which will be filled the next day with another slack jawed retard. Why in any fuck should they extend their hand to help you feel like a good boy for buying $80 worth of twinkies and pepsi. Trust me, every service worker your autistic fatass has to deal with is laughing at you with their coworker buddies the second you walk out those automatic sliding doors. Although in your case it seems they do it in your face so you must seem really retarded and weak looking.

>eleven check outs
>only two cashiers
>a hundred people in line
why?

>>11247521
For one, in America, we shop for a week or more. There's a lot of groceries, lines would take forever if the same person scanning it took time off scanning to bag it, instead of just grabbing, scanning, and pushing down the lane for the bagger to get
this isn't jap where our fridge is 1/4th the size and we do our daily shopping after 13 hours of work

>>11248280
Despite what you may think, they don't have eleven fucking cashiers working on a monday. Also, some people are on breaks, others are working on the floor because according to their own metrics, they don't need to open up another till because "100" people are in line (actually 3).

>>11248286
Why not just shop at a store where you get a handheld POS so you can scan and bag your own shit while shopping and then just pay and gtfo as soon as possible without unloading everything at the register?

>>11248303
those came out maybe last year in a handful of cities, they don't have the exact products i like, and i'm not giving amazon access to my phone

>>11248329
We've had them for like 5 years, haven't spoken to a cashier since.

>>11247521
>>11247550
Amazing how they always delude themselves into believing whatever way they were born doing something, that was is the best. This isn't an american/european thing, it's a people thing.

You'll find americans abhor the idea of bidets, just like the strange European compulsion to be proud of not having servants everywhere to bag your groceries, butter your popcorn, and collect your carts.

Try to do things the best way, and stop being blinded by the box you were born in.

>>11247614
Because unless you live in complete Shitsville your loss on carts is going to be minuscule. Cart hauler also isn't a singular position, it's a task; most "cart haulers" are generic front end employees with multiple tasks like emptying trash cans, cleaning spills and restrooms, running go backs, and working as backup cashiers. And if you do live in complete Shitsville, it's cheaper to install a cart retention system.

>cartboys seething in this thread

>>11248352
kys and don't reply to this thread again or you're gay

>>11247521
it exists so super markets can hire downies and give them a job they can't fuck up too bad

If they gave you .25 cents for returning carts homeless people would attack you for your cart as soon as you leave the store

when labor is so cheap why not. I remember being a cashier almost full time and my pay checks were like $150

>>11248338
Imagine going to a store and paying to work.

>>11247521

>>11248390

>>11248369
Cute flaps but it ain't gonna make me read all that shit.

>>11248280
