Need help with your packing?

I ask people if they need a bag (store policy) and you'd be surprised how much people carry without one. Some people on the other hand just ignore you even if you ask and then later on say 'can I have a bag?' and soundrealy annoyed as if it's my fault. You can never win as far as carrier bags go.
 
Always cheeses me off when I buy one item, such as a newspaper, and the till operator tries stuffing it into a plastic bag. In this day and age of non-wastage and ecoism wouldn't it be better policy to wait for the customer to ask for a bag rather than give one automatically?

They are only doing what they have been told to do.....

A simple "No thank you" would suffice, i am sure that would take loads of effort

I strongly object to the general dumbing down that is taking place in this country. People need to use common sense and not just have a generic approach to all situations.

For every person like you there is one who will insist on a bag. It wasn't a silly thing to ask.

"Would you like a bag?"
"No"
"ok"

'To the internet!' indeed.
 
I had a great argument the other day in Sainsburys. The guy in front of me had two full trolleys and was in the 10 items or less checkout! I even waited until the cretin had stacked half of one trolley onto the conveyor belt before pointing out the fact that he should perhaps learn to read the signs and thus avoid further embarrassing outbursts from irate idiots like me in the future. :D

Another similar bugbear of mine is the "You want fries or a drink with that" syndrome. No, if I wanted bloody fries or a drink I've have damn well ordered them wouldn't I?

One that gets me is they always ask "is that large" whenever you order a meal from Mcdonalds.
 
Being a cashier myself you wouldn't believe how many people out there can't make their minds up if they want a bag or not. If you think someone doesn't need one so don't give one, 9 times out of 10 they'll ask for one or stare blankly at you until one is offered! Then there's the customers who'll quite happily watch you pack a load of their shopping into a bag then empty everything out and leave the bag lying there before they leave the shop. It's much easier if customers just tell you if they need a bag or not.

That works both ways. From my experiences of working in fast food:

"Hello there, how can I help?"
"Can I have this burger with a drink please"
"Sure thing sir! I'll put that through as a meal so you free chips as well if you want. Thats £3.79 please!"
"Umm... did I ask for chips?"
"I know you didn't but if I put it through as a meal you save money"
"Look, I didn't ******* ask for chips, so why don't you just put them through seperately, ok?"
"......... right. *fiddles and presses buttons on the till". Ok, that will be £4.69 please"
"Ok.... hey, wait a minute, why is it so expensive?"
"................................"
