I’m just wondering what the title asks: do you organize your groceries in the order you will check them out, if doing self-checkout, or arrange them on the belt/counter in a standard checkout line, in the hope that they’ll be bagged in a specific way?
I didn’t know there was any other way people do it, but just learned some people prefer to checkout/bag without pre-arranging things. I’m kind of curious to see what’s more common, or if there’s some other options I haven’t considered?
If you have a big enough purchase, it gets pretty impossible to rearrange on the fly.
Nah not true, ive done it on £200 shops, not perfectly but enough. Take the time to think about where your putting stuff as your putting things in your basket/trolley and its easy to move a few bags of crisps to get to the bottles for example.
This is how I do it. I plan checkout as I put stuff in the cart. Heavy/hard/non-crushables at the back, squashables at the front and delicates in the baby seat. Makes loading the conveyor belt a breeze.
You need to teach me then, haha! I unload as fast as I humanly can, usually with someone else madly bagging at the other end, and quite often there’s a giant line behind us anyway.
I can reach down like two layers at most before something either is knocked out of the trolley or the pile topples inside. The best I can try and do is group heavy things together a little bit. I’m not sure if it makes much of a difference.
