If not then I'm more of the organized kind. I usually try to put the cold stuff all together and the cans, etc., but if they are waiting on me I just take things out as I get to them. Many times there is no bagger so I bag them myself. I hate it when they put the bread in with something and mash it up. Arghhh!! I want my milk in a bag as well. Cans go together and get double bagged and tied. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes I'm the Plop and Finish shopper. Sure as I don't get a cart I'll see several other things I need. Then when I get to the belt my arms are so full I have to just plop it all down before I drop it. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you see some interesting people in your line of work! Check out my post I just put up. I went to a quilt show yesterday! Beautiful, beautiful quilts!! <BR/><BR/>Been riding lately?

But I do a rough toss or two if the checker doesn't slide the separator 'between orders' bars down where I can reach them. <BR/>I make a big deal of pulling every one back sharply until the first hits the stop.<BR/>THEN I toss mine down behind the customer ahead of me.<BR/>When I am finished I place a 'between orders' bar behind (pretty sharply too) so the next customer doesn't have to do that and she/he can see how NICE I really am.<BR/><BR/>I pull my cart behind me, I don't like to be crowded by the person back there acting like we are on the freeway where SHE tailgates me.<BR/><BR/>I am an 'elderly people' but always am pretty fast. The check part might be a little slow because I have to comb my beard before I get looked at to see if I match the I.D.<BR/>Most of the time I'm real fine with the card. It is NOT A DEBIT CARD, rather I use my CREDIT CARD.<BR/>First it gets me 'points' and because I am an 'elderly person' on A FIXED INCOME often times I have to CHARGE IT when I don't have enough money for groceries.<BR/><BR/>I only put one canned drink on the belt, I point to the others and the checker just does a 'X four' bit.<BR/><BR/>Now I'd rather go to our Krogers in Conroe. They don't use a belt, the checker takes the groceries out of my basket. I tell her my magic <I>10ยข a gallon off gas I.D. number</I> and pay. Those two things are all I do.<BR/><BR/>Of course I alway check my paper tape printout to be sure I got the specials, but I pull over before I get in the way, towards the door, to do that.<BR/>..<BR/>Thanks for telling me Sue is your Sis, I knew once when I was on your blog, but wouldn't have remembered by myself today.<BR/>I'll go tell her thanks for checking on me.<BR/>..<BR/>I am a <I>one of a kind (unique) grocery shopper</I> so you don't need to fit me in any of your type shopper catagories.<BR/>..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-59132436840663842882008-08-26T10:34:00.000-05:002008-08-26T10:34:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.com
