Bring your own bags => cashiers toss stuff into cart and break things, because you have to bag your own stuff.
Cashiers bag stuff => less things break, because stuff is bagged then put in the cart.
Yeah. Piling stuff on another belt so we can bag it ourselves is the norm here as well. I find it fascinating that I will simply pile everything into a haphazard pile on my side of the cashier, but when the cashier scans it, he/she usually piles it up into a very nice and tidy organized group.
What country is this if you don't mind me asking. If uncomfortable with answering , no pronlem. Also, they have hand scanners for everyone?
I see, that explains the confusion.
I'm in the states, but I still kind of feel weird having them do this. That said, they're much faster at it than me and lines are always huge, so they probably prefer it this way.
