She needs to watch French movies where they always have a baguette sticking out of their grocery bag.

    This bagette doesn't look lovely nor fresh

    If it's in that kind of bag (with little holes in it), it was definitely freshly baked that day. That kind of bag is designed to keep the bread crispy, but it can only be used on the day it was baked, or the bread will become hard as rock the next day. If a loaf is going to be kept and sold the next day, it has to be rebagged into a solid plastc bag to keep it fresh. "Lovely" is subjective. It's a grocery store baguette.

    So? Do you usually eat the baguette as a whole, deepthroating the thing or what?

    Pretty sure the baguette still works.

    Personally, I tend to eat half by the time I get to the car, so I would consider this good customer service.

    That's weird as well, but what I meant is in Europe you pack your groceries yourself

    Oddly enough, most American supermarkets put every baguette they bake that day (if they bake it that day) in plastic bags. Although in this case, I believe they mean that they broke the baguette in the plastic bag in half so it would fit in the bag with the rest of the groceries.

    Never understood (or experienced) having my purchases bagged for me when I do groceries

    From the grocery store's perspective, at least in the US, it keeps the checkout lines moving way faster when some kid who is trained to bag groceries does it, rather than waiting for the customer to figure out how to pack it.

    All grocery stores where I live have this device consisting of swivelling plank separating the packing area into two. If someone is slow at bagging the clerk will simply move the plank and all groceries go into the second half where the second person can bag them. It gives the first person time to bag and the next customer again has their groceries place in the first half.

    unbroken baguettes are a privilege of those who use reusable bags and bag their own groceries

    My first thought when I saw this post was, "That's not a baguette, that's french bread." I never connected that the gigantic long bread at the store with the stale dry crust that they label as "french bread" is supposed to be a baguette, which is French. Like they are too ashamed to actually call it a baguette because it kind of sucks but that's definitely what it's supposed to be.

    Is french bread a regional thing in the US?

    As a french baguette amateur I can confirm this is how you pack a traditional industrial baguette.

    Where I come from they'd tie her limbs to 3 horses and have the horses run away from each other.

    This lady sounds mad. I'd be impressed at how real that cashier is keeping it.
