    I bring it back to the store, like a proper child of the light.

    EDIT - ProTip: Leave your reusable bags in your car. When you checkout tell them you don’t need bags and to just put the groceries back in the cart. You can bag the stuff at your own pace once you are back at your vehicle. No self bagging stress, no "I forgot the bags stress, no extra work for the cashier, no need for a bagger, and you help the queue move faster.

      Nah, the Stop n Shop I go to has portable scan guns, it’s really the best. If I have to shop somewhere that doesn’t have these, it will ruin my day. For the uninitiated, it’s a portable bar code scanner with a little screen on it. You scan items as you take them off the shelf, put them in your bags, and when you are done shopping there is a “checkout” button on the gun/screen that generates a barcode. Scan that barcode at the self checkout, pay, and be on your way. It is peak grocery shopping efficiency.

      Tell me you don’t live somewhere where it gets well below freezing without telling me you don’t live somewhere where it gets well below freezing.

        Wyoming my guy. -20°f, I’m still bagging at my car and taking the cart back to the store. Five minutes isn’t going to kill you…maybe.

      We keep telling you that you cancel all that goodwill out when you give the cashier The Look and announce there’s no need for bags and that you’re putting it all in your cart unprotected.
