bagging

Do supermarkets teach anyone how to bag groceries any more? The other day the bagger actually put a dozen eggs in the bottom of the bag. Put mangoes, avocados, and bananas on top of them. None of them broke, but really, Oh, my goodness! What in the world???? In the past several weeks I've had apples and cans put on top of a couple of loaves of bread. The bread never recovered, it looked like it had a fjord running down the middle of one loaf. I had one checker who put stuff in the bag with the bag on its side, and put the potato chips on the top, but they were on the side-bottom once the bag was upright. That didn't go well with the bananas sticking into the chips.
I always put my groceries on the belt in the order I think they should go into the bag. Cans first, then heavy fruit, then things like chips, bread, and finally herbs (and repeat if it's more than one bag). They often go out of their way and pick things from up the belt so that they can either put all the heavy stuff into one bag or so that they can put fruit on top of the herbs. There's nothing like a good bunch of cilantro that's been all bruised being between cans and apples.
Okay, rant mode off. I do go through the self-check line whenever possible.
