Meat in bags.

Another gripe just an FYI. I went grocery shopping this morning, that is always a fun thing in and of itself (pft) but it irritates me to no end how the baggers bag my groceries. I will typically go to a self service lane so I can bag my own things but seeing as I haven't had a chance to shop in a while I had a little more than usual. Now many friends of mine argue that I have some OCD tendencies. When I shop I put things in a specific order which in turn goes on the counter in the same order. For example, boxed items go with boxed items, cans with cans, fruit with fruit, frozen items with frozen items and most importantly meat with MEAT! I do it this way because when I get home the bags are separated so it is easier to put the items that need to be refrigerated away with out sorting through everything else.

As usual when someone at this grocery store bags my items they are completely out of order. I understand completely that sometimes the checker scans faster than the bagger bags and that is fine. Today though I was frustrated beyond belief when I was putting the groceries in the car. I bought four things of meat. Instead of those four items going in one bag it ended up with raw chicken in a bag with fresh vegi's, ground beef in with lunch meat and tortilla's, steak in with a giant thing of yogurt and OJ and last but not least pork with gum and canned items.

Now some people might not mind that but I have issues with raw meat so having it mixed with other things is really.. eww. Not to mention canned items being with the meat I would rather not having them smashing the meat.
