No, because I bag my own groceries. Anyways, I wouldn't tip the cashier.

But I thought we tipped for good service. What if the cashier were very pleasant, didn't put the milk on top of the eggs and separately bagged your meat so your lettuce didn't get meat juice all over it? Doesn't that deserve a tip?

I am not sure where people live where grocery stores still have people that bag groceries. A cashier will bag groceries here if the person is elderly or cannot do it themselves. I always carry my own bags and bag my own groceries.

The cashier will bag the groceries here in NY. I don't know of any place where the cashier does NOT bag groceries.

The cashier is not providing me with a personal service. My interaction with the cashier is negligible, perhaps three minutes worth, and no words need to be exchanged. The cashier is not doing anything to make my experience anything different from anyone else's experience. No tip.

Rev. try living on $15.00 an hour and see how much your lifestyle changes.

It is a restaurant. If you do not like the prices charged, or how much the waiter or waitress makes you do not have to go. But if you do please do not insult good service with no tip.

Just stop, you have no idea what you are talking about.

This will hurt the wait staff of restaurants in areas where this goes up. They will have likely made more money when the wait staff made a much smaller hourly wage and relied mostly on tips.

The upscale grocery stores here in Minneapolis will do it, and also Wal Marts. I don't go to the bling stores and I usually only go to Wal Mart for dry goods--prepackaged food, canned goods and frozen food, and paper products.

When I was a teen I was a carryout at a garden store. I would sometimes receive tips if I carried out a lot of stuff--40 lbs bags of dirt, bags of fertilizer, potted plants and flowers, etc. I figured I was getting a tip for carrying stuff that the customer didn't want to carry or couldn't carry.

Then we should tip the cashier for doing a good job (ie - no potatoes on top of the eggs, separate cleaning supplies from food, ect)

I have heard from people who know better that generally the cheapest group to dine out is the after-church lunch crowd. If true, what a wonderful testimony.

When I put my groceries on the conveyor belt I segregate them so it's easier for me to bag them properly. Frozen food first, then refrigerated products, then boxed items, then canned or glass jar items, then anything else, and finally, produce. So I should tip a cashier for putting my things into bags according to the way I placed them on the conveyor belt? Don't think so.

It's pretty much the same with a waitress.

I'm sure waitresses everywhere are ecstatic that you've compared their jobs to moving packages past a scanner and then putting them in a bag.

Imagine asking a cashier:
"Could you recommend a nice orange juice that will go with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal?"

"Are the frozen salmon fillets fresh?"

Having worked in both fields, yes, I'd say that they are comparable. Neither one prepares the food. Both give their advice and suggestions.

Around here you would get some dirty looks if you start bagging your own stuff. Here the stores pay people to do that, and it is their JOB that pays them real money, that helps keep them off of welfare and unemployment.

Interesting that people will argue that no upper limit on income should be placed on CEO's, yet waiters making $15 an hour is plenty of money.

Would that be anything like paying a Pastor 200k a year, plus a house, car allowance, phone, health insurance, life insurance etc.

How many of these overpaid pastors ever feel called by God to move on to another ministry in the backwoods somewhere. No they fight to stay in these positions, even when severe personal sin is brought out.

I think it is ridiculous what some of these CEO's and lets throw in what professional athletes make.

Oh man!! Can you tell me where they have a pastor's job that pays like that?? Man, we'd be rolling in the dough!!

Instead, my husband gave up a high paying 6 figure salary with prestige to become a pastor - salary cut SIGNIFICANTLY. It's been a hard struggle but seeing lives being changed is worth it.
