I’m just wondering what the title asks: do you organize your groceries in the order you will check them out, if doing self-checkout, or arrange them on the belt/counter in a standard checkout line, in the hope that they’ll be bagged in a specific way?

I didn’t know there was any other way people do it, but just learned some people prefer to checkout/bag without pre-arranging things. I’m kind of curious to see what’s more common, or if there’s some other options I haven’t considered?

    Here in New Zealand, different supermarket chains do it different.

    • One is literally called Pak n Save, you pack your own bags.
    • One very often has a second person packing bags. This is a pricier store.
    • And one just has the cashier drop your things into the bag after they have scanned them.

    The third one seems most natural to me. Why not have them put your stuff in a bag since they are already holding it?
