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 I have a large cart of groceries I don’t like self checkout. if i have time I turn all the items so the bar code is on the bottom and stack them so they are easy to drag over the scanner. I also only use the first 2/3 of the belt that’s closest to the checker so they don’t have to lean over and reach for anything.
Staggering produce items introduces slowdowns so best to put them all at the end so you can do your payment info while stuff is being weighed.
My checkouts are fast af.
