I won’t end up single-bagging a bunch of stuff that could be bagged together (e.g. if they scanned some window cleaner, they bag it separate, not knowing that some dishwasher detergent is coming that it could be packed with).

Not that it is foolproof but unloading your cart in an organized manner helps with that. Though maybe you're talking about helpless baggers, I've seen plenty of both clueless baggers and customers who toss things onto the belt willy-nilly.

Yep! First job was as a grocery boy. If you feed the cashier your goods in an organized manner, they do better.

My wife was an utter mess at Aldi, pushed her aside and handled scanning and bagging my way. Know what? She's great at it now! After watching a few times, she hands me our purchases in a logical order. Boxy stuff? That goes together. Cold goods? Goes together. Heavy shit? That goes in the empty bag. Soft stuff? Top off a bag.

What's great is that I didn't say much of anything. She figured it out after a few trips!

Anyway, I'm a grocery bagging expert. AMA.
