I found myself at Walmart, scanning and bagging items totaling almost $300.

While shopping at Walmart, a customer had an interesting experience while bagging groceries totaling nearly $300. During the process, an employee, who was advocating for a $15 per hour wage, questioned the customer’s bagging technique. The employee expressed dissatisfaction with the use of double-bagging and suggested reducing the number of bags used. However, the customer defended their choice, pointing out the weakness of the bags.

In response, the employee recommended distributing items across multiple bags to avoid the need for double-bagging, resulting in a humorous exchange. The customer humorously highlighted the paradox of still using two bags for the same items, likening the situation to “Common Core math.” Onlookers found amusement in the exchange as the employee eventually returned to her station without changing her bagging advice.

This incident provided a light-hearted glimpse into the clash between practicality and unconventional advice that can occur during a routine shopping trip at Walmart.
