    Speed! It has something to do with speed. Those greedy corporates want to earn as much money as possible in seconds. Time=money

    I know at loblaws store they evaluate cashiers performance based on item scanned per minutes. Someone told me that last time that they were getting less hours because they were deemed 'slow'.

    Cashiers usually tend bag a lot quicker than people do (partly because they don't care if they squish your stuff or mix cold products etc), that is why stores like Freshco and No Frills usually have two bagging belts so they can checkout the next person while you bag. Cashiers are mostly slowed down by price checks and questions which is a store issue, or coupons or payment issues - unless they are particularly chatty.

    I was very annoyed at Loblaws the other day when the cashier left me to bag all my own stuff (had my own reusable bags) while she bagged the next customers items in a plastic bag he had to purchase - not impressed.
    Pretty please with sugar on top, can you use my Swagbucks referral?

    No kidding! I fail to understand the logic behind some of those 'efficiencies' policies of corporations. On one hand, they want to evaluate their cashier based on items scanned per minutes but on other hands, they got thousand of other flawless practices especially the coupon issues like "u-cannot-use-that-on-sale-items" or the famous "its-one-per-purchase"

    In my area ONLY Metro bags groceries for you, if you have your own bags.

    Even Loblaws and Sobeys doesn't do it. All 3 do it if you buy their bags. But your own bags, only Metro does it for me.

    Freshco, No Frills, Food Basics forget my bags they don't even bag , even if you are buying their bags.

    SDM and Rexall also only bag for me, if I am buying their bags. If its my bags, its forget it.

    I guess some just don't have the space or maybe its a corporate policy or upto the cashier, I am not sure.

    Some stores half bag it for me ..lol. If I have 2 bags, I will be filling 1 bag and the cashier will be like, let me help you with that after they see me starting to bag..and they will start the second bag.

    So 1 bag is by me and the other by them..lol.

    Basically as of late I have been looking at the 5cent charge not for the bag, but rather for the service of having the cashier bag my groceries. I prefer to have my groceries bagged for me so bringing the reusables (which I do) is becoming a hinderance. No Frills was always this way and one of the reasons I don't like shopping there, but when did this become the norm across the majority of grocery stores? Wouldn't it be odd to purchase clothing at a retail store and have the cashier ask if you want to purchase a bag and if you brought your own just walk away and let you bag your own clothing? What happened to what could be considered the basics... friendly, courteous service? I must be showing my age. lol.

    Thanks for posting this.

    I found the last sentence a bit contradictory? Maybe my reading comprehension is failing me today...

    If I remember correctly there is a difference between Loblaws and Loblaws Great Food stores? I think I had a flyer for one and went to the other store and found out there was a difference when the cashier told me this...I was so confused that day..

    But if there is a difference, why would one store do something differently than the other?

    Wal Mart even forces them to sell their crappy Master Card. They get evaluated on it at the end of the day.

    Honestly I don't blame the cashiers for being so tired and exhausted, the corporates pay them minimum wage and plus expect all this nonsense from them. Honestly I won't last a day on that job.

    LMAO good one, so if I correct, they only want efficiencies at Loblaws stores but Loblaws Great Store can continue to slip these 'efficient practices' aside because why not...

    The f&^ is this? What do these policies makers smoke?

    lols...I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this, but for now I am gonna join in on the fun...

    They probably think they don't need efficiencies /faster service/ competitive pricing at their Loblaws Great Store, since this store has the word "Great" in it, so no matter what, customers will call it a "Great Store" ..hahhaha

    ok, maybe that wasn't funny, but don't you think it's funny that they wrote all that hogwash about them not bagging your groceries is so great, and they didn't think we would do a double take on that last sentence...

    I was at Zehrs today...they fulfilled their "all checkouts open" promise, but there were still long lineups everywhere.

    I swear, everybody was buying potato chips. It was unreal. Chips in every basket. What, no shrimp rings for 2017? Apparently 2016 ends on a discount bang lol.

    (They tried to bag my groceries but I told them to just put it back in my cart and not screw things up. Well, the first part, anyway.)

    It might be a "Great Store" but it's no Super Store.

    oh i had one of those cashiers today that was rather pushy about the walmart mastercard.. i said no thanks i have the canadian tire one.. and she just became even more pushy... i'm sorry a walmart card will never replace the card we have had for well over 15 years with a crazy low rate
