I am an avid fan of my local grocery store. I'd like to ask these neighborhood epicenters to train their grocery store baggers in proper packing procedures. When I load my goods on the register's conveyor belt, I take extra care to stack the groceries according to size:

-boxes
-canned goods
-small dairy
-fruit
-veggies
-bread
-eggs

If I don't say so myself, the organization is pretty spectacular. Time and time again, I gingerly await the grocery store bagger to take heed to my packing tip and stack my things accordingly. In particular, Jewel. The staff at Dominick's seems to take a bit more care with compartmentalizing the $100+ in groceries I just picked up. Jewel? Not so much.

Is this an anal observation? Sure.
Am I getting sick of my bread getting smooshed? Yes.

Dear Grocery Store Manager, please let me pack my things myself.
