> You can’t just throw things into a bag in random order, you need to think about it. A well packed set of shopping bags is a big convenience, and I don’t want to spend the bandwidth to do it.

Please tell me that you say this only to win the argument, because, come on. Putting things into something else is as trivial as it gets, and I can assure you that, even though I have never seen one, a person whose job is to fill the bits someone else bought into bags for them will give absolutely zero fucks about how he puts them things into them bags. Except maybe it's somewhere like Harrods, I guess, if they are paid high enough (now I recalled this: there was a comment or an article recently about an employee of Harrods whose job was to get fired when customers came to complain about other personnel).




You probably only think this because you don't do a good job. There are strategies and methods for bag packing that produce better results.

You figure out how to build a base, how to seperate items by contimination risk, learn how to fill a bag up.

People who do it poorly give you 15 bags when 7 will do.

The biggest incentive is to do it faster. The job is boring as sin, so you just want to get it over with.

It's also a good job for mentally challenged people. It's low stress, something they can learn, and something they can do well at.
