Bring a cardboard box to the grocery store. Checkout is fast and the checkers/baggers love it
Or reusable bags. We have some here made of fabric(Or is it cloth? Don't know the right term) that we've been using for years.
Best of both worlds, we have reusable bags which are shaped like boxes with carry handles and enough structure to keep their shape while carrying stuff. The first store we ever got them at was Food Lion, but I've seen them available from Wegmans now too.
Those seem to throw off the baggers. Theyβre set up to use plastic bags and the fabric bags break up their routine.
You have people to bag your shopping for you?
Yes
