A deeply **** idea.


I actually like it, because I get the chance to sort it all out as I want.

Sometimes I need to separate out particular purchases into separate bags;
much easier in my own time. And given that (apart from the thick mummies)
most people pack that way, the checkouts run really fast.


I just load stuff on to the conveyor in the order I want it packed - so
frozen first, fridge next, etc - that way I can just fill bags in real
time at the other end.


If I run out of real time I use artificial time, you can buy it in tins that can be resealed to keep it fresh ;-)
