Around and Around My Groceries Go


I often notice the little things in life that have changed. I was in the grocery store check out lane the other day. This particular store had the new carousel bagging system, a lazy susan type thing where the cashier can turn to a new bag. I must say I am impressed by this new technology. I believe it has significantly cut down the time customers wait in line. The thing that confused me was that I was responsible for putting the bags into my cart. Not a huge deal, but when the cashier waited and just watched as I put the last few bags into my cart, I noticed the downfall of this new technology. Shouldn't she have helped me? I like the idea of sharing the duty of putting the bags into the cart. I want to spend a little quality time with the cashier as we both experience the mundaneness of bag moving. I remember the day when I just pushed my cart forward a bit and magically it was filled with numerous bags of groceries. I even remember when they asked, paper or plastic? What has happened to the poor paper bag industry?
Bagging with WONDER...
