Avviso contenuto: in which a european is confused by yanks
I just saw a video about how USAians are confused by Aldi
Do... do you people not know how to pack bags yourselves? The person said about a job role called a "bagger" who packs grocery bags at the end of checkouts and that's like, all they do
That's not a real thing right?
And apparently US checkout staff aren't allowed to use chairs? What shit is that? That can't be right?

That's nothing. I have read of people not only packing their own groceries, so that the store can make moar profit by not hiring bag-boys any more, but they also do the job of the cashier to help the store make even moar profit off their stupid ass. Even mcdonalds tries to get people to do this now to get rid of even the few mcjobs that are left. Takes ppl twice as long, but the stores don't give a shit - they laugh to the bank. @trebach
I love self-checkout when done while still in the supermarket aisles: a few supermarkets here in Italy will give you a device to scan things as you get (and bag) them, and then you either give the device to a cashier at the end or use it at the self-checkout terminal to pay.
It means that while buying groceries I can keep track of how much I'm spending and comfortably bag things the way I want, filling them with the right amount of the right things (so that things that go in a certain part of the house are all in the same bag), instead of trying to do that in a hurry during checkout.
I think I would *hate* having somebody else fill bags for me…
