Oh no, bagging your own items. I already had to do that because we don’t have demeaning jobs like that on this side of the pond.

Massive win for me as a shopper as the self checkout is much faster and doesn’t require human interaction.

I'm sure the baggers would rather be employed rather than laid off. I'd rather have the money go to a bagger than the CEO's pockets.

I'm quite sure I'd go mental over in the US as I very much doubt a bagger can tetris my backpack as well as me.
