Do cashiers have bagger preferences?
Permalink   


 I mean, I have to say that I do have preferences for which cashiers I bag for, but the cashiers barely pay attention to whose bagging unless it's their friend or something. It just kind of crossed my mind while I was at work.

The cashiers are human, after all.  I'm sure they prefer some over others, but ultimately have no control over who bags on their lane.

YES!!!!!

 

I'd rather have baggers who would actually do their job instead of me having to do 75% of the work. That 24-pack of water? You'd better be able to pick that up. I don't have time to deal with small things like that when I have an ELMS to sustain.

 

And they better not give me crap about what stuff I scan first. I try my best to keep them all together (cold stuff, then produce, etc.) but if they keep whining, I'll definitely make it hard for them.

 

 

I guess that's why I have baggers I get along with who finish the moment I finish a transaction, while there's other baggers who end up being so far behind that I can only apologize to the customer for dragging them down.

there's not one I prefer, but there are some I wish would go the f away. i have one who is slow as crap and talks about crap the entire time, when slows him down even more. he will also put 8 things in one bag, double tie it, then put it in another bag. Um.. youre wasting another bag and taking forever doing it as well.

but as a bagger, i prefer certain cashiers but i dont play favorites. i know one of the older cashiers prefer me compared to the 16 years old, only cause i dont talk the entire time

I do having bagger preferences.  

Some are painfully slow and I can scan and bag quicker than they can.  Some are also notorious at forgetting items and then they'll just hide the items or take them back so they never get recorded on the log.  Some won't shut up and keep talking to other baggers and ignoring customers or the cashier.  They don't unload large orders like they're supposed to.  We have one who strikes a pose at the end of the register like we're wasting her time. 

Personally I hate bagging.  I'm terrible at it but as a supervisor I often have to bag and if we have a new cashier that's where I want to be.

I like my baggers to be normal, and not the ones who talk to themselves in the bathrooms.

Baggers are preferred to not having a bagger.

Talking to yourself is just like pooping. It's normal, as long as you do it in the bathroom.

At my store there's a girl bagger who wants to bag for nobody but me. That's probably why somebody started a rumor about me and her doing the nasty in one of the restrooms lol.

Well, technically, the unisex restrooms CAN be locked, so....
If you are able to avoid the security cameras and the anti-theft device, anything is possible.

/just saying...

We don't have unisex restrooms lol. Besides, I can do a lot better than her. She sleeps around and hops from one boyfriend to the next, and all her boyfriends are douchebags anyway. Not my type of girl.

Absolutely. I've been known to tell certain baggers  to park it on my checklabe until their next lot shift. Just don't get caught doing it.

Yea Kroger prefers you to "float", meaning move from one register to another.
A customer bagging their own groceries? *gasp* That's a Kroger sin.

But after awhile it becomes so repetitive, frustrating and annoying that the only "float" you want to do is face-down into the nearest body of water.

Customers bagging their own groceries is a Kroger sin??? They forgot to tell us in Colorado springs, 50 percent of the customers here end up doing that, while three head clerks stand talking to eachother!!! I had to leave my lane ( I'm a checker) with customers waiting to do a carry out!!!!???

 Sounds like your management is as spineless as any other Kroger's. Once saw an older cashier bagging her own order and then helpin bag other orders while our worthless managers were chatting it up about how we need to be a more customer-focused business.

In my store not really, we're mostly all friends with each other so to speak, front-end wise. As long as you can put groceries in a plastic, paper, reusable, or some combination of both.
Of course some cashiers do have some type of preference, the only real preference I've seen is putting stickers on stuff. Some cashiers asks that the baggers put the stickers on the larger items. Not really a big deal, pretty easy etc.
