Is there some rule that employees have to follow that doesn’t allow customers to bag? Or is it just that they’re incentivized to offer? I’d love some input from people who have worked in some of the bigger companies. For reference, I mostly use Publix.

  • people who bag groceries that aren’t cashiers also clean messes, gather shopping carts, face aisles etc,

    I misread this at first as referring to the customers who bag their own groceries, and I was surprised that there were so many other people like me that are happy to bag their own groceries and will also pick up trash on their way into/out of/through the store and tidy up the cart situation when stashing theirs that it is noticed as a trend by employees and also that the others are tidying the shelves too…!!! And then it sunk in that you’re talking about the “cart pusher” job title, not my fellow Tidiness Fairy customers 😂🤦

      Hahaha aw I wish! I definitely round up stray shopping carts and put them in their corrals, though. That way I’m helping staff AND other customers by freeing up parking spots!
