Another reason not to go there, then. What's the point if the checkout
operators go faster than you can pack?

In the US of A, the checkout ops do the packing too. And it's still
quite quick because they whizz stuff through the scanners at a much
higher rate than here.

I expect they squash the tomatoes and sliced bread that you want to put in
the freezer.

Nope, they are selective about what goes in each bag
and put the fragile stuff like eggs aside to go in the bag
last if you only have enough stuff to fill one bag etc.

Have they discovered carrier bags with handles yet?

Yep, ever since we went plastic. The paper sacks didnt have handles.
