All the big smkts here, train their till cashiers that they must
never start dealing with the next customer's goods until the previous
one has finished and left.

I'm always asked if I want help packing but never accept. This is
pretty usual in UK.

I'm particular about exactly how the shopping is packed so prefer to do
it my way. Hard, glass and canned stuff together; cool/chilled/frozen
stuff stays cool together in insulated bags; delicate or fresh stuff on
top so it doesn't get crushed or bruised; and when I get home it's all
in the easy natural order for unpacking to fridge, freezer or pantry.
