What's this?

As a former bag boy, dedicated to my craft, it pains me to see the


art of bagging lost on the younger generation. Often times I'll say something like "Can you please put that all in (insert number of bags here, usually 1 or 2)" and they look at me like it's impossible.

I've started shopping at Aldi, I love that place. Those cashiers don't waste time with bags, just scan my items and throw em in the cart. Then I blissfully relive my glory days as I artfully bag them off to the side.
