Is it normal to go to the grocery store, buy a full cart of food, and then while at the register, start bagging the groceries yourself to make it go faster? I honestly want to know if others do this or not because I always did when I got around the age of twelve, and still do it today as my sister did as well. I am curious to see because the other day I was with my mother at Marc's, and we had a full shopping cart with other people waiting in line behind us. As the pile grew bigger on the other side of the cast register, I decided to start bagging them to speed up the process. The cashier was in her middle ages, so she had clearly been working for many years, seeing various types of people. After I was bagging them, she thanked me many times and said that was very nice of me to help her out. I didn't think it was that uncommon to help some one so I didn't think much of it.
Yesterday, my mother was complaining about how she waited in line at the grocery store for over a half hour because this couple at the cash register had two shopping carts of food, and did not even think of bagging their own groceries. I felt like it was rude of those people to make others wait out of their own laziness. Was it below then to help others out? Then, I wondered if anyone else does it; I remembered that most people try to help when they are at Sam's Club, but I don't recall anyone doing at local grocery stores. I'm not saying that you should do it every time you by some milk, or a few bags worth of food, but why don't people help out one another to make things easier?
