I do that at all supermarkets, and have done for years.

The weather isn't so nice up here to do that. Gritters out and about
gritting the roads this evening. B-)

I don't like being held up by people p***ing about packing - then
fumbling for the means to pay - so wouldn't want others to wait for me
either.

Neither do I and if tesco etc had a packing shelf I'd use it. But as
they don't I pack at the checkout. I try to be efficient as possible,
I put stuff on the belt in categories, so all the chilled/frozen is
together, any dry goods together, fruit 'n veg together. My own, semi
rigid, bags are ready to be picked up from the baby seat of the
trolly, cards and vouchers are all checked and ready in a pocket.


I always pack at the checkout. If this delays someone else, that's the
fault of the shop for not having enough checkouts working. ie poor service!
