that is my supermarket and those baggers are all in their late 60s. its a shame. amazing how they started cleaning up that store and now people care.. but before they started selling veggie patties no one gave it the time of day.

People bagging their own stuff sounds like a good idea, until you're behind the slowest senior on the East Coast.

These execs should be slammed hard with fines and back pay all paid to the employees. Greedy greedy people in this world.

Actually, I never thought the baggers were being paid. Maybe it's because the baggers at my Associated seem to be between the ages of 12 and 15. I just figured they were trying to pick up a few bucks in tips.

We do tip too much as a society, but this is absolutely outrageous.
