I don't use self checkouts because I hate trying to get those fucking bags open.

Also give cashiers chairs.

just bring a backpack or some other bag.

Cool, new friend too!

If that's a problem for some reason, they make bags that fold down to nearly nothing and you can stick in a pocket as well.

Also, "Loss Prevention" for anyone else who needs it.

i used to carry a backpack all the time when i lived in the city and rode the bus or train everywhere, including to grocery stores, target, walmart and the like. never once had a problem from workers in a store. this was the 80s-90s, times were 'different' then, as people would say. of course, looking 'mostly' caucasian probably helped somewhat. today, though, i would probably get hassled at most stores in those same cities, if i carried a backpack while i shopped.
