The time I tried bagging my own groceries to speed things up

So last Tuesday at the Kroger on 5th Street, the line was backed up past the greeting cards. I figured I'd be helpful and bag my own stuff while the cashier rang it up. I grabbed a loaf of bread and tossed it in the bag, then put a gallon of milk right on top of it. Cashier just looked at me and said "you might want to rethink that." Learned my lesson about squishing bread. Has anyone else tried to help out and just made things worse?

omg my friend Jessica did the EXACT same thing at Publix last month. She was trying to be helpful and stacked a whole bag of apples on top of a carton of eggs. The cashier didn't even say anything just watched the whole thing go down. Jessica got home and opened her bag and it was like a yellow mess everywhere. She said her husband just stared at her like are you kidding me. We still give her grief about it when we go shopping together.

Yeah that Kroger on 5th Street gets insane around 5pm. I did the same thing at the Food Lion on Sycamore a few weeks ago. Grabbed a bag of those soft dinner rolls and chucked a jar of pasta sauce right on top. Heard the glass clank and knew I messed up. @emmam67 Jessica's story gave me a good laugh though, at least she didn't have sauce everywhere like I did. Took me twenty minutes to clean my trunk after that one.

The weird part nobody talks about is how some bags are way more slippery than others. I swear those cheap Kroger bags have zero grip and everything slides around no matter how careful you are.
